Advancing the Methods of Evaluation of Quality and Safety Practice and Education

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管在改善医疗保健方面取得了显着进展，但可避免的伤害和护理质量的广泛差异仍然是现实。迫切需要在质量改进（QI）和安全科学的工作队伍中建立能力和能力，确保有严格的方法来评估QI干预措施，并迅速传播这些努力的结果。跨专业研究人员、教育工作者和一线提供者之间的强有力的伙伴关系至关重要。在这一需求得到满足之前，科学进步对健康结果和医疗服务的影响将继续缓慢得令人无法接受。 我们建议医疗保健改进学院（AHI）主办第三届年度会议，题为推进质量和安全实践与教育的评估方法。为了开始发展一支具有应用和严格评估基于科学的改进干预措施的背景敏感有效性的技能的跨专业工作队伍，AHI将与护士质量和安全教育研究所合作。会议的具体目标是为来自各个学科的以质量为中心的临床医生，研究人员和教育工作者提供信息和经验，使他们能够通过以下方式提高质量和安全性：1）传达建立有效能力的循证方法，以改善跨专业社区的科学，以实现在地方和国家医疗保健环境中创建和促进跨专业社区的目标，2）提供将严格的评估设计应用于QI干预的技能，以便不仅描述有效性，而且描述所涉及的理论和机制，以及3）揭开科学写作过程的神秘面纱，以加强有效改进工作的出版和传播。 实现这些目标将导致1）一个跨专业的医疗保健劳动力的能力和能力，在他们的日常工作中应用QI科学（无论是实践，研究或教育为重点），和2）以QI为重点的临床医生，研究人员和教育工作者谁经常应用强大的评估方法，他们的工作，导致在医疗保健中的有效干预措施的成功复制，并随之加快改善患者的结果。 会议活动将包括主题演讲、研讨会、小组讨论、摘要介绍和写作研讨会。发言者将包括公认的专家，他们的会议将重点讨论适用于现实世界环境的方法，并使用AHRQ优先人群的例子。会议记录将通过网络链接和Twitter信息源传播。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite the remarkable progress in improving healthcare, avoidable harm and wide variations in the quality of care remain a reality. There is a critical need to build capability and capacity in the work force on the science of quality improvement (QI) and safety, assure that there are rigorous ways to evaluate QI interventions, and quickly disseminate the results of these efforts. Strong partnerships between interprofessional researchers, educators, and frontline providers are critical. Until this need is met, the pace with which improvement science impacts health outcomes and care delivery will continue to be unacceptably slow. We propose that the Academy for Healthcare Improvement (AHI) sponsor a third annual conference, entitled Advancing the Methods of Evaluation of Quality and Safety Practice and Education. To begin to develop an interprofessional workforce with the skills to apply and rigorously evaluate the context-sensitive effectiveness of improvement science-based interventions, AHI will partner with the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Institute. The conference specific aims are to provide QI-focused clinicians, researchers and educators from a variety of disciplines with information and experience that will enable them to improve quality and safety by: 1) conveying evidence-based methods of building effective capability in improvement science across professional communities toward the goal of creating and facilitating interprofessional communities in local and national healthcare settings, 2) providing skills to apply rigorous evaluation designs to QI interventions in order to delineate not only effectiveness, but also the theory and mechanisms involved, and 3) demystifying the scientific writing process to enhance the publication and dissemination of effective improvement efforts. Achieving these aims will result in 1) an interprofessional healthcare workforce with the capacity and capability to apply QI science in their daily work (whether practice, research or education-focused), and 2) QI-focused clinicians, researchers and educators who routinely apply robust evaluation methods to their work, resulting in successful replication of effective interventions in healthcare and a concomitant acceleration of improved patient outcomes. Conference activities will include keynote lectures, workshops, panel discussions, abstract presentations and writing workshops. Speakers will include recognized experts whose sessions will focus on methods applicable to real-world settings using examples of AHRQ priority populations. Conference proceedings will be disseminated via web links and Twitter feeds.
