Advancing the Methods for Healthcare Quality Improvement Research

描述(由申请人提供)：“推进医疗质量改进研究的方法”会议的目的是提高质量改进研究的价值，从而影响指导有效应用质量改进进行基于价值的护理的证据基础，从而改善患者的结果。这些文献现在为我们提供了质量改进的最佳方法的例子，以及患者登记和比较有效性的兴起，为质量改进的最新研究和未来需求的想法提供了新的机会。会议主题和练习采用了质量改进研究的广泛定义；它扩展到从有效性试验到实施科学(混合研究)的过渡，从质量改进试验(例如集群随机设计)到使用多因素干预和过程控制图的“现场”组织中的改进倡议，进入患者登记和比较有效性的交叉点，并解决卫生保健差异的政策问题。通过将重点放在关键的新出现的主题上，然后审查选定的案例和演讲，本次会议将传播这些技术应用的传播，并将成为一个确定未来研究需求的论坛。本次会议面向那些对医疗质量改进研究的最佳方法感兴趣的人，以及对改善医疗服务的质量改进倡议进行严格评估的人。会议注册将向有意通过研究和教育促进医疗保健质量改进的提供者、机构、机构、健康计划、购买者、政策制定者和消费者开放。主旨演讲者将从学术的角度介绍有关质量改进的值得注意的问题。将有讲台演讲和海报，呼吁发表论文和以案例为基础的学习，说明最佳做法。实施科学作为一种战略方法，对于卫生保健的质量、安全、效率和有效性的目标的贡献，如果没有可靠的科学文献发表记录，太容易被忽视。这次会议的目的是促进和传播将产生系统质量改进的最佳证据的方法。会议报告和会议记录将为未来的研究和政策提供信息，并有助于促进新的合作学术关系的形成，致力于更好地提供卫生保健。 公共卫生相关性：关于“推进医疗质量改进研究的方法”的会议是关于提高质量改进研究的价值，因此它影响了指导在基于价值的护理系统中有效应用质量改进的证据基础，从而改善了患者的结果。会议注册将向有意通过研究和教育促进医疗保健质量改进的提供者、机构、机构、健康计划、购买者、政策制定者和消费者开放。会议报告和会议记录将为未来的研究和政策提供信息，并有助于促进新的合作学术关系的形成，致力于更好地提供卫生保健。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of the conference about "Advancing the Methods for Healthcare Quality Improvement Research" is to elevate the value of quality improvement research so it impacts an evidence base that guides effective application of quality improvement for value-based care and, thus, better patient outcomes. The literature now provides us with examples of best methods for quality improvement and the rise of patient registries and comparative effectiveness provides new opportunities for state-of-the-art of quality improvement research and ideas for future needs. The conference topics and exercises take a broad definition for quality improvement research; it expands into the transition from effectiveness trials to implementation science (hybrid studies), spans from quality improvement trials (such as cluster randomized designs) to improvement initiatives in "live" organizations using multifactorial interventions and process control charts, enters the intersection of patient registries and comparative effectiveness, and addresses the policy issues of health care disparities. By a focus on key emerging topics and then review of select cases and presentations, this conference will disseminate the spread of these technical applications and a forum to identify needs for future research. This meeting is for those interested in best methods for healthcare quality improvement research and rigorous evaluation of quality improvement initiatives for improving care delivery. The meeting registration will be open to providers, institutions, agencies, health plans, purchasers, policy makers, and consumers who intend to advance quality improvement in health care through research and education. Keynote speakers will present on noteworthy issues around quality improvement from a scholarship point of view. There will be podium presentations and posters from a call for papers and case-based learning illustrating best practices. The contribution of implementation science as a strategic approach for the goal of quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care is too easily overlooked without a solid record of publication in the scientific literature. The purpose of this conference is the promotion and dissemination of methods that will generate the best evidence for systematic quality improvement. The conference presentations and the conference proceedings will inform future research and policy and help promote formation of new collaborative scholarly relationships devoted toward better delivery of health care. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The conference about "Advancing the Methods for Healthcare Quality Improvement Research" is on elevating the value of quality improvement research so it impacts an evidence base that guides effective application of quality improvement in the system of value-based care and, thus, better patient outcomes. The meeting registration will be open to providers, institutions, agencies, health plans, purchasers, policy makers, and consumers who intend to advance quality improvement in health care through research and education. The conference presentations and the conference proceedings will inform future research and policy and help promote formation of new collaborative scholarly relationships devoted toward better delivery of health care.
