 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Academy for Healthcare Improvement Teaching and Disseminating Methods to Improve Healthcare Quality and Affordability Project Abstract Despite an explosion in biomedical knowledge, dramatic innovation in therapies, and management of conditions that previously were fatal, American healthcare still falls short on basic dimensions of quality, outcomes, and costs, resulting in unnecessary deaths and wasted resources. There is a critical need to teach and disseminate methods to measure and improve healthcare quality and affordability among strongly partnered researchers, frontline inter- professional clinicians, and patients to achieve the goal of high value for patients. Until this ned is met, the pace and impact of improvement in healthcare will be unacceptably slow. We propose that the AHI sponsor a series of 3 conferences designed to enhance the capacity of QI researchers and educators to measure value in healthcare and incorporate quality and affordability concepts and concerns into research and practice. Based on the learning healthcare system framework and aligned with the AHRQ mission of ensuring that the evidence to improve healthcare quality and affordability is taught, understood and used, conference specific aims are to teach and disseminate: 1) rigorous methods to measure value, quality and affordability in healthcare, including a focus on the components of patient outcomes, experience and costs, 2) research design and methods on healthcare delivery system improvement interventions that may be applied in real-world practice settings to improve quality and affordability, 3) methods for engaging providers and patients in healthcare coproduction to improve quality and affordability, and 4) interprofessional curricular innovations to teach value i healthcare professions education. Participants will include inter-professional partners doing research and education at the frontlines of improving healthcare. Conferences will help to close current shortfalls in healthcare quality and affordability by engaging multiple key healthcare professions and their representative organizations in research questions that address enhancing quality and affordability in their daily work, whether research-, practice-, education- o administration- focused. Conference activities include plenary sessions, interactive workshops, panel discussions, and original science abstract presentations. Speakers will include academic, senior HHS, industry and patient experts from a variety of disciplines. Sessions will focus on methods applicable to real-world settings using many AHRQ tools. Conference proceedings will be disseminated beyond conference attendees via webinars, web links, collaborative position papers and social media outlets before, during, and after the conference.

 描述(由申请者提供)：医疗保健改进学院教学和传播提高医疗质量和可负担性的方法项目摘要尽管生物医学知识爆炸式增长，治疗方法大幅创新，以及对以前致命疾病的管理，但美国医疗保健在质量、结果和成本等基本方面仍然不足，导致不必要的死亡和资源浪费。迫切需要在强有力的合作研究人员、一线跨专业临床医生和患者中传授和传播衡量和提高医疗质量和负担能力的方法，以实现为患者提供高价值的目标。在达到这一目标之前，改善医疗保健的速度和影响将是令人无法接受的缓慢。我们建议AHI赞助一系列3个会议，旨在提高QI研究人员和教育工作者衡量医疗保健价值的能力，并将质量和可负担性概念和关切纳入研究和实践。在学习型医疗保健系统框架的基础上，并与AHRQ确保提高医疗质量和负担能力的证据被教授、理解和使用的使命保持一致，会议的具体目标是教授和传播：1)严格的方法来衡量医疗保健的价值、质量和负担能力，包括关注患者结果、经验和成本的组成部分，2)关于医疗保健提供系统改进干预措施的研究设计和方法，这些干预措施可以应用于现实世界的实践环境，以提高质量和负担能力，3)让提供者和患者参与医疗保健联合生产的方法，以提高质量和负担能力，以及4)跨专业课程创新，教授价值I医疗保健职业教育。参与者将包括在改善医疗保健第一线进行研究和教育的跨专业合作伙伴。会议将通过让多个主要医疗保健专业及其代表组织参与研究问题来帮助弥补目前医疗质量和负担能力方面的不足，这些问题旨在解决他们日常工作中提高质量和负担能力的问题，无论是以研究、实践、教育为重点的行政工作。会议活动包括全体会议、互动研讨会、小组讨论和原创科学摘要演示。演讲者将包括来自不同学科的学术界、高级卫生与公众服务部、行业和患者专家。课程将重点介绍使用许多AHRQ工具适用于实际环境的方法。会议记录将在会议之前、期间和之后通过网络研讨会、网络链接、协作立场文件和社交媒体渠道向会议与会者传播。
