Using Clinical Guidelines to Improve the Care of Older Persons Conference

产品说明：（申请人提供）明尼苏达大学老龄问题中心将于2006年6月主办一次会议：“利用临床指南改善老年人护理”。“这个夏季研究所/会议将汇集临床医生，研究人员，卫生保健管理人员和公共政策制定者，探讨如何将现有的老年人慢性病护理问题管理指南纳入各种场所的实践，包括办公室实践和疗养院。它将研究在实践环境中使用老年患者指南所面临的成功和挑战。我们这次会议的目标是超越欣赏问题，激励和协助一组实践设置，将一个或多个指南引入他们的护理程序。 该研究所的目的是满足AHRQ会议的传播会议的目标，研究结果将被总结和广泛传达给有能力使用信息来改善医疗保健服务的结果，质量，获取，成本和利用的组织和个人。然而，它超越了仅仅传播会议记录的通常做法，列入了将成果付诸实践的执行部分。 这次会议的一个核心成果是合作，以确定和建议实用的工具或战略，这将加快实施最佳循证实践，影响老年人的护理。一个目标是确定几个提供门诊和疗养院护理的地点，这些地点愿意实施一个或多个指南，并测试这样做的效果。在这方面，该提案与AHRQ的另一个类别重叠：制定一项研究议程，目标是确定和/或开发成功的实践变革工具，以加强改善护理服务的实施。会议的工作将有助于未来的研究议程，以改善老年护理最佳做法的实施。在会议结束时，一个或多个创新的伙伴关系，在该地区的各种选区（供应商，付款人，监管机构，消费者权益保护者，）将形成合作，创造必要的基础设施，以促进和促进整个医疗保健系统的实践变化工具的利用。 拟议的会议是代表所有受影响的几个团体合作的结果 选区;政策机构，学术界，供应商，QIO和消费者组织。发言者之所以被选中，是因为他们的研究结果和/或因为他们在影响系统变革方面的实际经验。

DESCRIPTION: (Provided by the Applicant) The University of Minnesota Center on Aging will sponsor a conference in June 2006: "Using Clinical Guidelines to Improve the Care of Older Persons." This Summer Institute/conference will bring together clinical practitioners, researchers, health care administrators, and public policymakers to explore ways in which extant guidelines for managing chronic care problems among older persons can be incorporated into practice at various sites including office practice and nursing homes. It will examine the successes and challenges faced in getting practice settings to use guidelines with older patients. Our goal for this conference is to move beyond admiring the problem, to inspiring and assisting a group of practice settings to introduce one or more guidelines into their care routines. The Institute is designed to meet the AHRQ conference goal of a dissemination conference where research findings will be summarized and communicated broadly to organizations and individuals that have the capability to use the information to improve the outcomes, quality, access to, and cost and utilization of health care services. However, it goes beyond the usual approach of merely disseminating the conference proceedings to include an implementation component to put the results into practice. A central outcome of this conference is a collaborative to identify and recommend practical tools or strategies that will speed implementation of the best evidence-based practices that impact care for older adults. One goal will be to identify several sites providing ambulatory and nursing home care that are willing to implement one or more guidelines and test the effects of doing so. To this extent, the proposal overlaps with another AHRQ category: Development of a research agenda that targets identification and/or development of successful practice change tools that will enhance implementation of improvements in care delivery. The work of the conference will contribute to the future research agenda for improving implementation of best practices in geriatric care. At the conclusion of the conference, one or more innovative partnerships among a variety of constituencies within the region (providers, payers, regulators, consumer advocates,) will form to collaborate on creating the necessary infrastructure to promote and facilitate utilization of practice change tools throughout health care systems. The proposed conference is the result of a collaboration of several groups representing all affected constituencies; policy institutes, academics, providers, QIOs, and consumer organizations. The speakers have been chosen because of their research findings and/or because of their real-world experience in affecting system change.
