Washington University Pediatric Research Consortium

描述：(申请人提供)：华盛顿大学儿科和青少年动态研究联盟(WU PAARC)是一个新成立的以实践为基础的研究网络(PBRN)，附属于圣路易斯华盛顿大学医学院(WUSM)的社区儿科医生。WU PAARC提供了一个正式的结构，以进一步发展和促进以前的社区研究工作。 WU PAARC将在WUSM和社区儿科医生在教育和临床研究方面建立现有的合作关系。10多年来，社区儿科医生一直在社区门诊实践体验计划中向儿科住院医生传授儿童和青少年的门诊护理知识。此外，许多社区儿科医生与WUSM研究人员合作参与了各种临床研究。这些合作关系运作良好，并确定了社区儿科医生的核心群体，他们不断致力于以实践为基础的研究。 这笔赠款的第一类资金将用于为WU PAARC建立基础设施，以促进通信并提高网络的有效数据收集能力。我们将建立一个基于网络的沟通网络，以协调WU PAARC的活动，迅速传播信息，进行会员调查，并促进从业者之间的沟通。我们将提供标准化账单代码的培训，并为办公室工作人员开发从账单数据中简单地获取电子患者名单的方法。我们将实施一项教师发展计划，以增加吴PAARC成员的研究专长。此外，我们将加强我们的数据收集能力，对WUSM已经拥有的计算机访谈系统进行基于网络的改进。我们将在小型项目中测试在此应用程序中开发的技术和方法，以描述Wu PAARC实践、从业者和患者。我们还将实施改进的Delphi方法，由Wu PAARC成员选择未来Wu PAARC的研究课题。 有了这种基础设施的支持，Wu PAARC将能够很好地解决与社区儿科护理相关的问题。 第I类

DESCRIPTION:(PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): Washington University Pediatric and Adolescent Ambulatory Research Consortium (WU PAARC) is a newly established practice-based research network (PBRN) of community pediatricians affiliated with Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis (WUSM). WU PAARC provides a formal structure to further develop and promote previous community research endeavors. WU PAARC will build on existing collaborative relationships between WUSM and community pediatricians in education and clinical research. For over 10 years, community pediatricians have been teaching residents from the Department of Pediatrics about ambulatory care of children and adolescents in the Community Outpatient Practice Experience Program. In addition, many community pediatricians have participated in a variety of clinical research studies in collaboration with WUSM researchers. These collaborative relationships work well, and have identified a core group of community pediatricians that have an ongoing commitment to practice-based research. Category I funding from this grant will be used to establish an infrastructure for WU PAARC that facilitates communication and increases the network's capabilities for efficient data collection. We will establish a web-based communication network to coordinate WU PAARC activities, disseminate information rapidly, conduct member surveys and facilitate communication among practitioners. We will provide training to standardize billing codes, and develop methods for office staff to simply obtain electronic patient lists from billing data. We will implement a faculty development plan to increase research expertise among WU PAARC members. In addition, we will increase our data collection capabilities with a web-based enhancement for a computer interviewing system already owned by WUSM. We will test the technologies and methodologies developed in this application in small projects to describe WU PAARC practices, practitioners and patients. We will also implement a modified Delphi approach for selection of future WU PAARC study topics by WU PAARC membership. With this infrastructure support WU PAARC will be well positioned to address questions relevant to community pediatric care. CATEGORY I
