BUILDING BRIDGES: POLICY DECISIONS AND HEALTH CARE

拟议的题为“建筑桥梁七：评估政策决定及其对提供保健服务的影响”的会议将继续1995年开始的与第一届建筑桥梁会议的对话。测试将于2001年4月26日至27日在华盛顿州西雅图的威斯汀酒店举行。这标志着AAHP和医疗保健研究和质量机构(AHRQ)之间的这种合作的第七个年头。疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)于1997年加入了这一合作组织，蓝十字和蓝盾协会(BCBSA)于2000年首次加入。合作的目标是举办一次研究会议，将来自管理型医疗保健、政府、学术医疗中心和政策团体的研究人员聚集在一起。2001年建筑桥梁研究会议的主题是“评估政策决定及其对卫生保健提供的影响”。与会者将有机会与卫生服务研究、学术界、政府和管理保健组织的领导人进行对话，讨论如何将临床、卫生服务和转化性研究成果应用于卫生计划推广和疾病预防实践。会议的目标是：讨论当前的研究活动、结果，以及健康计划、购买者和研究社区对研究结果的应用。探索卫生保健政策制定者如何利用研究来提高卫生保健的质量。研究如何有效地将研究结果转化为可操作的护理提供方案。

The proposed conference, "Building Bridges VII: Assessing Policy Decisions and Their Impact in Health Care Delivery" will continue the dialogue begun in 1995 with the first Building Bridges conference. T will take place in Seattle, Washington at the Westin Hotel on April 26-27, 2001. This marks the seventh year of this collaboration between AAHP and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) joined the collaborative in 1997, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) joined for the first time in 2000. The goal of the collaborative is to present a research conference that brings together researchers from managed care, government, academic medical centers, and policy groups. The theme of the 2001 Building Bridges research conference is "Assessing Policy Decisions and Their Impact on Health Care Delivery". Attendees will have opportunities to engage in dialogue with leaders in health services research, academia, government, and managed care organizations about how to apply clinical, health services, and translational research findings to health plan promotion and disease prevention practices. The conference objectives are: Discuss current research activities, results, and application of findings by health plans, purchasers, and the research community. Explore how health care policymakers use research to generate quality improvements in health care. Examine how to effective translate research findings into actionable care delivery protocols.
