 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Driven by the continuing digitization of medical information, rapid innovations in technology, and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the landscape of healthcare is changing dramatically. New challenges emerge every day regarding the design, management, utilization, and evaluation of health IT to support the mission of improving quality and reducing costs. They represent unprecedented research opportunities that offer significant potential to answer important questions, and have the potential to influence both policymakers and practitioners towards the mission. Yet, significant research questions and challenges remain regarding design, implementation, utilization, and evaluation of health IT. Much of the existing research on health IT has been conducted within narrow academic silos with limited cross- fertilization. The broad goal of the Workshop on Health IT & Economics (WHITE) is to support national efforts at advancing healthcare quality and facilitating the adoption and meaningful use of health IT through cutting- edge research, the dissemination of findings, and the translation of research into practice and policy. This is consistent with the mission of AHRQ as stated in PAR-13-017 for conference grants to further its mission to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. Within this broad goal, we are pursuing four specific aims: (1) to foster a cross-disciplinary health IT research community by gathering researchers from public health, business, economics, medical informatics, computer science and related disciplines; (2) develop the health IT research agenda and afford policymakers and practitioners the opportunity to help shape the research agenda; (3) provide a forum for leading researchers to disseminate cutting-edge findings and knowledge; and, (4) nurture the next generation of health IT researchers. WHITE 2014 will be the 5th annual conference. WHITE is structured as a typical workshop with a mix of paper sessions, keynote presentations, pre-conference sessions and panels that merge distinctive perspectives from industry, policy and innovation domains. WHITE has developed a strong brand and is creating significant value for attendees, who continue to return each year. WHITE participants overwhelmingly evaluated WHITE between excellent and very good along all dimensions. WHITE is positioned in a very unique niche that is not addressed, to the best of our knowledge, by any other conference or workshop on health IT. The workshop format supports intimate, rich, and detailed interaction and discussion that is often infeasible in large conferences. It enables the development of human capital in the form of training the next generation of health IT scholars in a constructive setting. We hope that AHRQ will continue to support this high impact conference for the next three years.

 描述（由申请人提供）：在医疗信息持续数字化、技术快速创新以及《平价医疗法案》实施的推动下，医疗保健领域正在发生巨大变化。为了支持提高质量和降低成本的使命，卫生IT的设计、管理、利用和评估方面每天都出现新的挑战。它们代表了前所未有的研究机会，为回答重要问题提供了巨大的潜力，并有可能影响决策者和实践者实现使命。然而，重大的研究问题和挑战仍然存在的设计，实施，利用和评估的卫生IT。现有的研究卫生IT已经进行了狭窄的学术筒仓有限的交叉施肥。卫生信息技术与经济学研讨会（白色）的广泛目标是通过前沿研究，传播研究成果以及将研究转化为实践和政策，支持国家努力提高医疗质量，促进卫生信息技术的采用和有意义的使用。这与PAR-13-017中所述的AHRQ的使命是一致的，其目的是进一步推进其使命，以提高所有美国人的医疗保健质量、安全性、效率和有效性。在这个广泛的目标下，我们追求四个具体目标：（1）通过聚集来自公共卫生，商业，经济学，医学信息学，计算机科学和相关学科的研究人员，培养跨学科的健康信息技术研究社区;（2）制定健康信息技术研究议程，并为决策者和从业者提供帮助制定研究议程的机会;（3）提供一个论坛，让顶尖的研究人员传播最新的研究成果和知识;及（4）培育下一代的医疗资讯科技研究人员。白色2014将是第五届年会。白色是一个典型的研讨会，包括论文会议、主题演讲、会前会议和小组讨论，融合了来自行业、政策和创新领域的独特观点。白色已经建立了一个强大的品牌，并为与会者创造了巨大的价值，他们每年都会回来。白色参与者对白色的所有维度的评价都在优秀和沿着之间。白色定位于一个非常独特的利基市场，据我们所知，任何其他关于健康IT的会议或研讨会都没有涉及这个市场。研讨会的形式支持亲密，丰富和详细的互动和讨论，这在大型会议中通常是不可行的。它使人力资本的发展，在建设性的环境中培训下一代卫生IT学者的形式。我们希望AHRQ将在今后三年继续支持这一影响深远的会议。
