AHRQ Conference Grant Program (R13)

 描述(由申请人提供)：我们的目标是在2016、2017和2018年举办一系列面对面的会议，在这些会议上，患者和消费者组织和个人总结、交流和使用基于证据的信息和工具，并有能力使用这些信息来改善医疗服务的结果、质量、获取和利用。消费者联合起来支持循证医疗(CUE)，成立于2003年，自成立以来一直得到AHRQ的支持，将主办拟议的年度会议，以建设消费者健康团体的能力；为消费者的科学家合作伙伴提供机会，以了解他们更多；并在利益攸关方之间建立关系。CUE自成立以来取得的成就使该组织在消费者和患者参与循证医疗(EBHC)方面成为公认的领导者。美国Cochrane中心(USCC)将提供牵头的科学伙伴关系和人员来协调会议。我们要求项目期限为三年，以支持由长期赞助组织CUE赞助的年度相同的会议。我们的建议包括在2016、2017和2018年：(1)每月召开CUE指导小组电话会议；(2)在华盛顿特区召开三次CUE指导小组会议；(3)在华盛顿特区举行为期三天的CUE年度成员会议；(4)在Cochrane Colloquia年度会议上举办三次研讨会。目标受众将是有兴趣将其倡导活动纳入EBHC的健康消费者群体。为期一天的会员会议将包括授课会议、研讨会和讨论，留出交流时间。会议材料将通过全体会议的幻灯片在CUE网站和社交网络工具上传播(例如，在活动期间进行推特直播)，两者都能吸引外部受众。消费目标群体包括CUE接触的许多优先人群。将每年通过调查对传播和执行情况进行两次评估。我们的目标是(1)在CUE已建立的势头的基础上，扩大美国消费者权益倡导者的能力；(2)加强越来越多的CUE成员组织和医疗保健科学家之间的合作和伙伴关系；(3)提供与EBHC相关的最新主题领域的在线和面对面教育；(4)就如何将研究证据纳入消费者活动提供一个沟通和方法咨询的论坛；(5)为提高医疗保健的质量做出贡献；以及(6)提高美国消费者对EBHC原则的认识、参与和贡献。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our objective is to host a series of in-person conferences in 2016, 2017, and 2018, in which evidence-based information and tools are summarized, communicated and used by patient and consumer organizations and individuals with the capability to use the information to improve the outcomes, quality, access to, and utilization of healthcare services. Consumers United for Evidence-based Healthcare (CUE), founded in 2003 and supported by AHRQ since its start, will host the proposed annual meetings to build capacity among consumer health groups; present opportunities for consumers' scientist partners to learn more about them; and establish relationship-building opportunities among stakeholders. CUE's accomplishments since its founding have made the group a recognized leader in consumer and patient engagement in evidence-based healthcare (EBHC).The United States Cochrane Center (USCC) will provide the lead scientific partnership and staffing to coordinate the meeting. We are requesting a project period of three years to support the same conferences on an annual basis, sponsored by CUE, a permanently sponsoring organization. Our proposal includes in 2016, 2017, and 2018: (1) Monthly CUE Steering Group teleconferences; (2) three CUE Steering Group Meetings in Washington, DC; (3) three day-long Annual CUE Membership Meetings in Washington, DC; (4) three workshops presented at the annual Cochrane Colloquia. The target audience will be health consumer groups interested in integrating their advocacy activities into EBHC. The day-long Membership Meeting will comprise didactic sessions, workshops, and discussion, with networking time set aside. Conference materials will be disseminated via slide casts of plenary sessions onto the CUE website and social networking tools (e.g., live tweeting during the event), both engaging external audiences. Consumer target groups include the many priority populations with which CUE engages. Dissemination and implementation will be assessed twice annually by survey. We aim to (1) build on CUE's established momentum to extend the capacity of US- based consumer advocates; (2) increase collaboration and partnerships among the growing number of CUE member organizations and healthcare scientists; (3) provide online and in-person education on up-to-date topic areas related to EBHC; (4) provide a forum for communication and methodological consultation on how to incorporate research evidence into consumer activities; (5) contribute to improving the quality of healthcare; and (6) increase awareness of, involvement in, and contribution to the principles of EBHC among US consumers.
