Assessing Real-World Impact of Clinical Interventions and Outcomes: The Science o

描述(由申请人提供)：拟议的“动态评估”会议将研究以生态为基础的评估方法在卫生保健干预提供和临床结果测量中的应用。动态评估方法传统上被用来了解生物-心理-社会过程，因为它们在时间和背景中自然展开，包括诸如经验采样、重复输入日记技术和对生理功能、体力活动和运动的动态监测等方法。这次拟议的会议将通过以下方式促进动态评估方法在临床实践中的应用：1)提供有关测量影响、研究设计和使用这些方法进行的知识基础；2)形成来自不同学科(如康复医学、心理学、风湿病、工程师)的研究人员和临床医生的协作网络；3)通过出版特刊提供会议研究的全面综合。有必要形成协作网络，并为临床目的提供有关动态评估的中央信息来源。2009年6月在德国格雷夫斯瓦尔德举行了新成立的国际动态评估研究核心小组(动态评估学会)的第一次会议，会议的重点是提供关于动态评估的信息和介绍成员。参加会议的有大量心理学家，但也有一群来自不同学科的研究人员使用动态评估来进行干预开发、交付或临床结果测量。在密歇根大学物理医学和康复系的支持下，我们2011年动态评估学会会议的目标是全面探索临床动态评估的应用。由于这些方法在医学、康复和心理学等几个学科中的迅速应用，这次会议是及时的，适用于密歇根大学和其他地方的许多研究人员。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的“动态评估”会议将审查基于“真实世界”的医疗干预交付评估方法的使用和应用，以及医疗干预结果的衡量。在这个为期21天半的会议期间，来自不同学科的非卧床评估研究人员将介绍他们的工作，并在正式陈述后的讨论中和在单独的分组会议上进行思想交流。演讲者的发言摘要将汇编成一份手稿，以提供关于动态评估方法的知识基础，以促进其在康复研究中的使用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed conference on "Ambulatory Assessment" will examine the application of ecologically-based assessment methods to health care intervention delivery and clinical outcome measurement. Ambulatory assessment methods have traditionally been used to understand biopsychosocial processes as they naturally unfold in time and in context and include methodologies such as experience sampling, repeated-entry diary techniques, and ambulatory monitoring of physiological function, physical activity and movement. This proposed conference will facilitate application of ambulatory assessment methods to clinical practice by: 1) providing a foundation of knowledge on measurement implications, research design, and conduct using these methods; 2) forming collaborative networks of researchers and clinicians from different disciplines (e.g., rehabilitation medicine, psychology, rheumatology, engineers); and 3) providing a comprehensive synthesis of research from the conference by publication of a special issue. There is a need to form collaborative networks and provide a central source of information on ambulatory assessment for clinical purposes. The first meeting of a newly-established core international group of ambulatory assessment researchers (Society of Ambulatory Assessment) took place in June 2009 in Greifswald, Germany and focused on providing information on ambulatory assessment and introducing members. The meeting was heavily attended by psychologists, but there was also a group of researchers from different disciplines using ambulatory assessment for intervention development, delivery, or clinical outcome measurement. With support from the University of Michigan Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, our goal for a 2011 Society of Ambulatory Assessment meeting is to fully explore the application of ambulatory assessment for clinical purposes. Due to the burgeoning use of these methods in several disciplines, such as medicine, rehabilitation, and psychology, this conference is timely and applicable to many researchers at the University of Michigan and beyond. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed conference on "Ambulatory Assessment" will examine the use and application of "real-world" based assessment methods for healthcare intervention delivery and the measurement of outcomes of healthcare interventions. During this 21/2 day conference, researchers on ambulatory assessment from different disciplines will present their work and engage in an exchange of ideas during discussions that follow formal presentations and in separate break-out sessions. A summary of speaker presentations will be compiled into a manuscript to provide a foundation of knowledge on ambulatory assessment methods to promote its use in rehabilitation research.
