2010 HMO Research Network Annual Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案请求医疗保健研究和质量机构(AHRQ)支持HMO研究网络(HMORN)第16届年会。HMORN是一个由16个国家和国际公认的研究中心组成的联盟，总部设在综合医疗保健提供系统中，专注于进行非专有的临床、流行病学和卫生服务研究。年度会议促进了基于卫生组织的研究人员之间正在进行的合作研究，并提供了一个激励新的和创新的研究倡议的场所。此外，它还为NCI、AHRQ和其他NIH研究所的研究人员、政策制定者、付款人和代表之间的对话提供了一个论坛，促进了从科学到医疗保健的创新想法的转化。会议的目标是：1)交流和传播最新的研究成果，特别强调以转化性研究为重点的会议；2)提出实证结果，定义最新的科学状况，并鼓励医疗研究、提供和政策方面的创新；3)确定与医疗研究和提供相关的新兴主题和方法；以及4)通过分组随机临床试验、形成协作研究网络、虚拟数据仓库和纳入不同的人群，促进比较有效性和实施研究。2010年会议的主题是医疗研究和交付领域的新兴前沿，展示了HMORN的承诺，即超越网络和我们的传统合作者，分享我们的经验，讨论工具和技术，并扩大在尖端医疗研究和交付领域建立富有成效的公私合作伙伴关系的机会。此外，2010年会议的主题和相应的议程与AHRQ提高卫生保健的质量、安全、效率和有效性的使命密切相关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) support the 16th annual conference of the HMO Research Network (HMORN). The HMORN is a consortium of 16 nationally and internationally recognized research centers based in integrated health care delivery systems that focus on conducting non-proprietary clinical, epidemiologic, and health services research. The annual meeting nurtures ongoing collaborative research among HMO-based researchers and provides a venue that stimulates new and innovative research initiatives. Additionally, it provides a forum for dialogue among researchers, policy makers, payers and representatives of NCI, AHRQ, and other NIH institutes, facilitating the translations of innovative ideas from science to healthcare. The objectives of the conference are to: 1) Communicate and disseminate state-of-the-science research findings, with a specific emphasis on translational research-focused sessions; 2) Present empirical findings that define the state-of-the-science and stimulate innovation across healthcare research, delivery and policy; 3) Define emerging topics and methodologies related to healthcare research and delivery, and 4) Advance comparative effectiveness and implementation research via cluster randomized clinical trials, formation of collaborative research networks, virtual data warehouses, and inclusion of diverse populations. The theme of the 2010 meeting, Emerging Frontiers in Healthcare Research and Delivery, demonstrates the HMORN commitment to reach beyond the network and our traditional collaborators to share our experiences, discuss tools and technologies, and expand opportunities for productive public-private partnerships in cutting edge healthcare research and delivery. Moreover, the 2010 conference theme and corresponding agenda is closely aligned with AHRQ's mission to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care.
