CRN Clinical Communication Research Center

建立CRN临床沟通研究中心的长期目标是确定和测试最佳沟通和协调流程，以促进临床环境中以患者为中心的癌症治疗。我们将在整个癌症护理连续体中追求这一目标-从预防到癌症检测，诊断，治疗，生存，到生命结束-以及各种类型-从乳腺癌，宫颈癌，结直肠癌，肺癌，前列腺癌和其他癌症。我们提出了一个内部一致的研究和实践议程，重点是临床应用，并将这些调查与现有的专业知识相结合，传播和实施奖学金，以模拟有组织医疗保健的前沿现实。我们中心的具体目标是：（1）利用现有的行政和科学基础设施（癌症研究网络，拥有超过1000万注册者，包括美国的1个综合医疗保健提供系统），以支持发现和传播基于实践的沟通策略和组织资源的协同作用，以改善癌症护理连续体中的患者体验;（2）支持三个由赞助商发起的研究项目，以推进传播理论，并评估基于理论的实践传播策略的有效性;（3）为新的研究者，包括临床医生，提供行政和科学支持，以开发试点项目，为优秀项目提供财政援助，并协助提交更广泛的，发起人提出的建议，以提交校外资金;（4）从事博士生，博士后研究人员，和医疗保健临床医生和研究人员在学习以病人为中心的癌症沟通的临床应用。该中心的研究项目将通过共享资源核心来增强，这些核心将致力于确定以患者为中心的癌症沟通和医疗保健协调的有效创新，并有效地向全国医疗保健系统传播和实施循证癌症沟通实践。通过CRN临床交流研究中心的创建和运作，公众健康将得到改善，因为独特的和多样化的癌症研究网络已经作为一个试验平台存在。我们将把它的目的扩展到以病人为中心的沟通研究。与患者的高质量沟通产生更好的健康结果。

The long-term objective of establishing the CRN Clinical Communication Research Center is to identif and test optimal communication and coordination processes that facilitate patient-centered cancer car in clinical settings. We will pursue this goal across the cancer care continuum - from prevention to earl detection, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, to end of life - and across types - from breast, cervical colorectal, lung, prostate, and other cancers. We propose an internally consistent research and practic agenda focused on clinical applications and pair these inquiries with established expertise i communication, dissemination, and implementation scholarship that models the cutting-edge realities o organized healthcare. Specific aims of our Center are : (1) to leverage an existing administrative an scientific infrastructure (the Cancer Research Network, with over 10 million enrollees, comprising 1 integrated healthcare delivery systems across the United States) to support the synergies of discover and dissemination of practice-based communication strategies and organizational resources fo improving patient experiences across the cancer care continuum; (2) support three investigator-initiate research projects to advance communication theory and to evaluate efficacy of practice-base communication strategies informed by theory; (3) provide administrative and scientific support to ne investigators, including clinicians, in development of pilot projects, financial assistance to meritoriou projects, and assist in submission of broader, investigator-initiated proposals to be submitted fo extramural funding; and (4) engage doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, and healthcar clinicians and researchers in learning about clinical applications of patient-centered cance communication. The Center's research projects will be augmented by Shared Resource Cores that wil work to identify effective innovations in patient-centered cancer communication and healthcare tea coordination, and effectively disseminate and implement evidence-based cancer communicatio practices to healthcare systems across the nation. Public health will be improved through the creatio and operation of the CRN Clinical Communication Research Center because the unique and divers Cancer Research Network already exists as a test-bed. We will extend its purpose to the study o patient-centered communication. High quality communication with patients produces better publi health outcomes.
