 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant The 11th International Conference on Health Policy Statistics (ICHPS), under the broad and timely theme, "Statistical Science at the Forefront of Health Policy Research," is a scientific conference that focuses on the interactive relationship between health services research and state-of-the-art statistical methodology. The main Sponsor of the conference is the Health Policy Statistics Section (HPSS) of the American Statistical Association (ASA). The duration and location of the ICHPS 2015 will be from October 7 to 9, 2015 in Providence, RI, USA. The overarching aim of ICHPS 2015 is to create an educational and research forum for statisticians, econometricians, psychometricians, and other experts in research methodology to exchange and build upon ideas, discuss research needs, and develop solutions to methodological challenges. Please see details via the following conference web link, hosted by the ASA: http://www.amstat.org/meetings/ichps/2015/index.cfm. The ICHPS's main aim is to create interfaces between methodologists and sophisticated health service researchers, health economists, and policy analysts so they can exchange and build on ideas they will disseminate to the broader health policy community. Specifially, the planned sessions will examine a broad range of topics that fit very well with the goals of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). These sessions will be useful to promote improvements in the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care by developing, debating and disseminating state-of-the-art research methods. Moreover, in line with the ASA's increasingly intensifying efforts to engage policy-makers and other stakeholders in the health policy arena, ICHPS 2015 will focus on data-centric statistical methodology related to health services research, particularly health policy issues of national and international importance. The invited program will cover key methodological and technical areas as follows: causal inference, instrumental variables, propensity scores, analysis of incomplete complex data systems, heterogeneous and/or random effect and hierarchical models, longitudinal and spatial modeling, meta-analysis and evidence synthesis, novel trial designs, real-world observational studies, and pragmatic trials. Most importantly, it does so in the context of addressing key health care policy research priorities. Topics presented at recent ICHPS meetings on comparative effectiveness research include examining evidence-based care, patient-reported outcomes analyses, and personalized medicine. ICHPS has long been an important venue to showcase new statistical approaches to measure provider performance, which is a critical area for measuring health care value and patient safety. In addition to invited and contributed sessions, the program will host workshops to provide research training and career development for new and existing health policy statisticians and outcome researchers in the methods, resources and applications at the forefront of contemporary health policy research. 1

 第11届卫生政策统计国际会议（ICHPS）的主题是“卫生政策研究前沿的统计科学”，是一个科学会议，重点是卫生服务研究和最先进的统计方法之间的互动关系。 会议的主要赞助商是美国统计协会（阿萨）的卫生政策统计部门（HPSS）。ICHPS 2015的持续时间和地点将于2015年10月7日至9日在美国RI的普罗维登斯举行。 ICHPS 2015的总体目标是为统计学家，计量经济学家，心理计量学家和其他研究方法专家创建一个教育和研究论坛，以交流和建立思想，讨论研究需求，并制定方法挑战的解决方案。请通过阿萨主办的以下会议网络链接查看详细信息：http://www.amstat.org/meetings/ichps/2015/index.cfm。 ICHPS的主要目标是在方法学家和先进的卫生服务研究人员，卫生经济学家和政策分析师之间建立接口，以便他们能够交流和建立他们将传播到更广泛的卫生政策社区的想法。 具体来说，计划中的会议将审查广泛的主题，这些主题非常符合医疗保健研究和质量机构（AHRQ）的目标。这些会议将有助于通过开发、辩论和传播最先进的研究方法来促进医疗保健的质量、安全、效率和有效性的改善。 此外，根据阿萨日益加强的努力，使政策制定者和其他利益相关者参与卫生政策竞技场，ICHPS 2015将重点关注与卫生服务研究有关的以数据为中心的统计方法，特别是具有国家和国际重要性的卫生政策问题。 的 受邀项目将涵盖以下关键方法和技术领域：因果推断、工具变量、倾向评分、不完整复杂数据系统分析、异质和/或随机效应和分层模型、纵向和空间建模、荟萃分析和证据合成、新颖的试验设计、真实世界观察性研究和实用性试验。最重要的是，它这样做的背景下，解决关键的医疗保健政策研究的优先事项。在最近的ICHPS会议上提出的比较有效性研究的主题包括检查循证护理，患者报告的结果分析和个性化医疗。长期以来，ICHPS一直是展示衡量提供者绩效的新统计方法的重要场所，这是衡量医疗保健价值和患者安全的关键领域。除了邀请和贡献的会议，该计划将举办研讨会，为新的和现有的卫生政策统计人员和结果研究人员提供研究培训和职业发展，在当代卫生政策研究的前沿方法，资源和应用。1
