DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As technology continues to advance, our ability to collect data on nearly every aspect of our lives has improved exponentially. While amassing large amounts of data has become easier, the question of how that data can be used is still being determined. The hope is that the vast volume of data, often referred to as "big data," can be analyzed and mined to help solve major problems in healthcare and in business. Yet most of the discussions about big data focus on what it holds for the future, and not about how big data is influencing decision-makers today. With conversations about big data generally addressing its future uses, many fundamental questions are going unanswered. The goal of this year's conference, titled "How are Decision Makers Using Big and Small Data Now?", is to define what big data is and what it means to various stakeholders in healthcare by taking status of how decision-makers are using big data now. Conference attendees will gain a greater understanding of how big data is being utilized today by public and private health systems, major employers, providers, insurers, and consumers. Each conference speaker will present the evidence on how his or her organization is using (or not using) big data and will explain what their experiences have been thus far. The focus on big data as part of health IT is of great interest to the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality and this conference will be addressing key areas of strategic importance to AHRQ. AHRQ's health information technology (health IT) initiative was created to "put information technology to work" in health care and has funded contracts and grants to see how health IT can improve the quality and safety of patient-centered healthcare. This conference will address topics that relate to AHRQ-funded projects, including how big data and health IT are impacting quality measures and how EHRs can be used for effective clinical decision support. We have established collaborations for this conference with public and private organizations that have an important stake, or can be an important resource, for addressing our themes. Veterans Health Administration, the University of Pennsylvania, and Kaiser Permanente have agreed to play lead roles in this conference. Health Affairs, another co-sponsor, is planning a themed issue to coordinate with the conference. This conference, as like those in past years, will have an in-person audience that we estimate will be between 300 to 500 with additional participants following the proceedings over the Web in real-time. The conference's themes and its emphasis on examining the evidence make it one of great value and importance to the current healthcare climate and to AHRQ and its on-going initiatives.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着技术的不断进步，我们收集生活中几乎每个方面数据的能力都有了成倍的提高。虽然积累大量数据变得更加容易，但如何使用这些数据的问题仍在确定之中。希望是大量的数据，通常被称为“大数据”，可以分析和挖掘，以帮助解决医疗保健和商业中的主要问题。然而，大多数关于大数据的讨论都集中在它对未来的影响上，而不是大数据如何影响当今的决策者。随着关于大数据的讨论普遍涉及其未来用途，许多基本问题尚未得到解答。今年大会的目标是“决策者现在如何使用大数据和小数据？”“是通过了解决策者现在如何使用大数据来定义大数据是什么以及它对医疗保健中的各种利益相关者意味着什么。与会者将更好地了解公共和私人卫生系统、主要雇主、供应商、保险公司和消费者今天如何利用大数据。每位演讲者将展示其组织如何使用（或不使用）大数据的证据，并解释他们迄今为止的经验。医疗保健研究与质量机构对大数据作为健康IT的一部分非常感兴趣，本次会议将讨论对AHRQ具有战略重要性的关键领域。AHRQ的健康信息技术（健康IT）计划旨在将信息技术应用于医疗保健，并为合同和赠款提供资金，以了解健康IT如何提高以患者为中心的医疗保健的质量和安全性。本次会议将讨论与AHRQ资助的项目有关的主题，包括大数据和健康IT如何影响质量措施以及如何将EHR用于有效的临床决策支持。我们已经为这次会议与公共和私人组织建立了合作关系，这些组织在解决我们的主题方面具有重要的利益，或者可以成为重要的资源。退伍军人健康管理局，宾夕法尼亚大学和凯撒永久已同意在这次会议上发挥主导作用。另一个共同赞助者卫生事务部正在计划一个主题问题，以配合会议。与往年一样，这次会议将有300至500名观众，另有更多的与会者通过网络实时跟踪会议进程。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重要价值和重要性。
