Health Care Practice: Priorities/Process/Problem-Solving

AMDA基金会的研究发展和传播会议，“将研究转化为实践”，优先事项，过程和问题解决，将讨论长期护理研究问题，并传播基金会LTC研究网络进行的研究，该网络是一个由300名长期护理专业人员组成的PBRN，成立于2001年。2005年11月11日至13日的会议有几个目标：(1)通过家庭医生咨询网络的长期护理小组的发展来确定研究重点，家庭医生咨询网络是一种基于网络的互动方法，用于识别和优先处理临床问题。(2)讨论在涉及认知障碍养老院居民的研究项目中获得同意和同意所涉及的临床、伦理操作问题。(3)识别和解决LTC研究中遇到的典型问题，如招聘、严格的排除/纳入标准和数据收集问题。(4)传播AHRQ LTC质量改进伙伴关系的初步数据，这是一项50家机构的试点研究，评估实施AMDA疼痛和压疮临床实践指南的过程和结果措施。(5)传播来自研究网络的数据，研究医生和护理人员对贫血和消化系统疾病等常见临床疾病的治疗和管理的态度和实践模式，以及医院到养老院的转移文件研究。(6)在知情同意、工具设计、制定纳入/排除标准以及进行文献检索等领域为网络成员提供研究培训和技能建设。相关性：本次研究和传播会议的目的是帮助每年至少在养老院度过一段时间的200多万老年人改善护理质量和生活质量。研究网络旨在通过分析当前的实践模式及其对健康结果和居民生活质量的影响，并制定和实施研究来评估当前和新的干预措施的有效性，从而确定照顾我国老年人的最佳做法。

The AMDA Foundation's research development and dissemination conference, "Translating Research into Practice", Priorities, Process, and Problem Solving, will address long term care research issues and disseminate research conducted by the Foundation LTC Research Network, a PBRN of 300 long term care professionals launched in 2001. The Nov. 11-13, 2005 conference has several goals: (1) Setting research priorities through the development of a long-term care panel with the Family Physician Inquiries Network, a web based interactive approach of identifying and prioritizing clinical questions. (2) Discussion of clinical, ethical operational issues involved in obtaining consent and assent in research projects involving cognitively impaired nursing home residents. (3) Identifying and solving typical problems encountered in LTC research such as recruitment, rigid exclusion/inclusion criteria and data collection issues. (4) Dissemination of initial data from the AHRQ LTC Quality Improvement Partnerships, a 50 facility pilot study assessing process and outcome measures from implementing AMDA pain and pressure ulcer clinical practice guidelines. (5) Dissemination of data from research network studies on physician and nursing attitudes and practice patterns regarding treatment and management of common clinical conditions such as anemia and digestive disorders, and a hospital to nursing home transfer documentation study. (6) Provide Network member research training and skill building in the areas of informed consent, instrument design, development of inclusion/ exclusion criteria, and conducting literature searches. Relevance: The purpose of this research and dissemination conference is to help improve the quality of care and quality of life for the more than 2 million seniors who spend at least some time in a nursing home each year. The Research Network seeks to identify best practices for caring for our nation's elderly through analyzing current practice patterns and their impact on health outcomes and resident quality of life, and developing and implementing studies to assess the effectiveness of current and new interventions.
