AHRQ Training Program in Patient Safety and Quality

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划的目的是培训未来的科学家设计、实施、选择和评估可提高医疗保健质量和安全的健康信息技术（HIT）。我们将通过培养科学家谁可以开发和应用以人为本的方法和技术，以HIT，从人因工程，质量改进，信息科学和相关领域的研究和方法绘图实现这一目标。为了让科学家们做好迎接这一挑战的准备，受训者必须将两种培训经验结合起来。第一个提供了信息学，研究设计和评估，以人为本的设计和质量改进的坚实基础。第二个通过研究项目为学员提供第一手经验，使他们有机会通过提高护理安全和质量的HIT工作将教学培训付诸实践。该计划将通过W.M.管理。凯克中心受训者可以在参与该计划的以下五所凯克中心成员大学中的任何一所就读：德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心、德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心、贝勒医学院、赖斯大学和德克萨斯大学加尔维斯顿医学分支。研究机会可在这些大学和其他几个德克萨斯州医学中心机构和中心，已同意参加该计划的研究地点。其中包括纪念赫尔曼医疗保健系统，纪念赫尔曼TIRR，和VA医疗中心，等等。参与中心包括UT临床转化科学中心，UT医学院纪念赫尔曼中心医疗质量和安全，休斯顿中心的护理和利用研究的质量，调查中心，以提高门诊安全通过有效的电子通信，和UT中心健康促进。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The purpose of this training program is to train future scientists to design, implement, select, and evaluate health information technology (HIT) that increases the quality and safety of healthcare. We will achieve this goal by training scientists who can develop and apply human-centered methods and techniques to HIT, drawing from research and methods in human factors engineering, quality improvement, information sciences, and related areas. To prepare scientists to meet this challenge, trainees must intermingle two training experiences. The first gives a solid foundation in informatics, research design and evaluation, human-centered design, and quality improvement. The second offers trainees first-hand experience through research programs that give them the opportunity to put their didactic training to practice by working on HIT that increases safety and quality of care. The program will be managed through the W.M. Keck Center. Trainees may be enrolled at any of the following five Keck Center member universities participating in the proposal: The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, and The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Research opportunities are available at these universities and at several other Texas Medical Center institutions and Centers that have agreed to participate as research sites in the program. These include Memorial Hermann Health Care System, Memorial Hermann TIRR, and the VA Medical Center, among others. Participating Centers include the UT Center for Clinical Translational Science, the UT Medical School Memorial Hermann Center for Healthcare Quality and Safety, the Houston Center for Quality of Care and Utilization Studies, the Center of Inquiry to Improve Outpatient Safety through Effective Electronic Communication, and the UT Center for Health Promotion.
