ECRI Institute Annual Health Policy Conference 3 Year Grant Application

描述（由申请人提供）：复杂患者，以患者为中心的癌症护理以及处方药的使用，误用和滥用：这些都是影响整个护理过程中利益相关者的紧迫问题，它们是ECRI研究所即将举行的关于在2014年，2015年和2016年政策和实践中使用证据的年度会议的主题。在过去的二十年里，ECRI研究所已经建立了组织年度会议的声誉，这些会议已经解决并影响了医疗保健领域的关键问题，特别是AHRQ。ECRI研究所每年召开这些会议，因为该组织致力于向公众传播基于证据的信息。在我们的会议上，我们强调我们必须能够评估证据的状况，而不仅仅是提出一些有趣的问题。在2014年，我们正在研究复杂的（即高风险）患者和日益复杂的医疗服务系统如何相互作用。2014年会议将讨论护理协调和过渡，以及医院内外的护理，并将介绍2015年和2016年会议将讨论的主题。在2015年，与国家癌症研究所和其他合作伙伴，我们的会议将审查以患者为中心的癌症护理。2016年，会议将重点关注处方药的使用、误用和滥用。这些会议的主要目标是推动重要的对话，并促进重要的研究。过去的会议主题包括大数据和小数据、以患者为中心、比较有效性、个性化医疗和系统性。 我们与公共和私人组织有着长期的合作关系，这些组织与我们一起解决我们的会议主题。美国退伍军人部、宾夕法尼亚大学卫生系统和凯撒医疗机构已同意在这些会议中发挥主导作用。这些会议，像往年一样，将有一个面对面的观众，我们估计将有500人。欧洲反对种族主义和不容忍委员会研究所的会议不接受任何商业赞助。这些会议是免费的，对所有人开放。所有发言者都贡献了时间，没有报酬。他们得到与旅行有关的费用。这些会议的主题及其对证据审查的强调使其对当前的医疗保健环境和AHRQ及其正在进行的举措具有巨大的价值和重要性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Complex patients, Patient-Centered Cancer Care, and the Use, Misuse, and Abuse of Prescription Drugs: These are pressing issues that are affecting stakeholders across the continuum of care, and they are the topics of ECRI Institute s forthcoming annual conferences on the use of evidence in policy and practice in 2014, 2015, and 2016. For the past twenty years, ECRI Institute has built a reputation for organizing annual conferences which have been addressed and influenced issues of critical concern in healthcare and to AHRQ in particular. ECRI Institute convenes these conferences each year because the organization is dedicated to disseminating evidence-based information to the public. With our conferences, we stress that we must be able to assess the status of the evidence and not just pose questions that are philosophically interesting. In 2014, we are examining how complex (aka high risk ) patients and increasingly complex healthcare delivery systems interact. The 2014 conference will address care coordination and transitions, and care in and out of the hospital and will introduce the themes that will be addressed in the 2015 and 2016 conferences. In 2015, in partnership with the National Cancer Institute and others, our conference will be examining patient-centered cancer care. And in 2016, the conference will be focused on the use, misuse, and abuse of prescription drugs. The main objective of these conferences is to serve as the impetus for important conversations and to stimulate significant research. Past conference topics have included data big and small, patient- centeredness, comparative effectiveness, personalized medicine, and systemness. We have long-standing collaborations with public and private organizations that join us in addressing our conference themes. The U.S. Department of Veterans, the University of Pennsylvania Health System, and Kaiser Permanente have agreed to play lead roles in these conferences. These conferences, as like those in past years, will have an in-person audience that we estimate will be 500. ECRI Institute receives no commercial sponsorship for its conferences. These conferences are free and open to all. All speakers contribute their time and are not paid honoraria. They are paid travel associated expenses. The themes of these conferences and their emphasis on examining the evidence make them of great value and importance to the current healthcare climate and to AHRQ and its on-going initiatives.
