6th Annual Forum for Improving Children's Healthcare - Purging Harm From Children

第六届改善儿童保健年度论坛将于2007年3月19日至21日在加利福尼亚州旧金山的旧金山凯悦酒店举行。这一激动人心的活动还将包括会前会议和以患者安全为重点的完整会议记录；“清除儿童保健中的危害”。论坛的总体目标包括：1)通过强调成功的循证模式和干预措施，建立改进意愿，并创建一个致力于改变儿童保健的专业人员社区；2)传播实施卫生服务研究和其他工具的有效结果的战略。在尚无循证战略的情况下，将基于理论上合理的变革概念框架的实地最佳做法作为有希望进行进一步实地试验的方法提出。3)鼓励提供者组织之间以及影响全世界儿童保健的多个利益攸关方层面（患者和家庭、社区、卫生保健组织）之间的协作和信息共享。动员各方力量，在NICHQ改善儿童卫生保健议程的范围内为儿童提供更好的卫生保健：预防儿童肥胖，为慢性病儿童提供无缝、循证、以家庭为中心的护理，消除儿童卫生保健的危害，促进护理公平，渊博的知识；为了实现上述目标，NICHQ确定了几个关键的目标受众，并成功地吸引了这些受众参加。与会者的主要属性包括：在组织中取得一定程度的管理，领导或创新作用，并从各种潜在的组织和学科角度参与儿童保健。第六届改善儿童保健年度论坛将与往年有许多相似的方面；然而，这次会议将有两个主要变化。首先，NICHQ将把我们所有的会议内容集中在我们认为可以对改善儿童保健产生最大影响的五个具体领域。在第五届年度论坛的全体会议上，NICHQ首席执行官、儿科质量改进专家Charles Homer医学博士、公共卫生硕士提出了改善儿童卫生保健的大胆议程，其中四个是其中的一部分。论坛的主题包括：预防儿童肥胖，为慢性病儿童提供无缝、循证、以家庭为中心的护理，消除儿童保健的危害，促进护理公平，深刻的知识；此外，为了与其他致力于儿童优质护理的组织保持一致，第六届年度论坛将突出NICHQ与全国儿童医院及相关机构协会（NACHRI）之间独特的伙伴关系。2007年，我们将在旧金山共同举办NICHQ论坛和NACHRI春季会议，让与会者更多地参与这两个会议，并在每个组织的努力基础上提高儿童护理质量。特别是NICHQ和NACHRI将于2007年3月18日（星期日）主办一个全天的患者安全会议，该会议将连接两个较大的会议。全天的患者安全会议将开启第六届儿童健康护理年度论坛的“净化危害”专题。内容将包括国家认可的演讲者讨论各种主题，包括特别关注卫生保健改善研究所的与儿童保健相关的100K生命运动的干预措施。NICHQ和NACHRI将密切合作，与国家领导人共同召开这次会议，并邀请其他组织，如美国儿科学会、美国儿童保健公司和全国各地参与该运动儿科节点的指导医院的领导人，与我们合作，共同实现这一共同愿景和联合会议。五年来，NICHQ的年度论坛已成为全国致力于改善儿童保健的领导人的中心会议。这一活动提供了一个环境，来自不同学科和组织环境的卫生保健领导人可以学习与改善儿童保健有关的卫生服务研究的最新发现。此外，这次会议为这些多方利益相关者提供了一个相互联系和获得实用技能的机会，这将有助于他们将研究成果转化为实践。NICHQ的活动基于Paul Batalden提出的促进变革的简单框架。(Batalden, 1996);改善儿童保健年度论坛旨在在启动和加速改善儿童保健质量方面发挥关键作用，并专门围绕这一促进改善保健的简单模式而设计。第六届年度论坛的“消除儿童保健中的危害”专题和相关活动将建立改进的意愿，传播落实有效发现的战略，鼓励协作和信息共享，并动员各方努力，通过以患者安全为重点的会议和全天会议，为儿童提供更好的保健服务。

DESCRIPTION: NICHQ 2007 Annual Forum Project Summary The 6th Annual Forum for Improving Children's Health Care will be held March 19-21, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco in San Francisco, CA. This exciting event will also include a pre-meeting and complete track of sessions focused on patient safety; 'Purging Harm from Children's Health Care'. The general objectives for the Forum include: 1) Build will for improvement by highlighting successful evidence-based models and interventions and create a community of dedicated professionals who are working to transform healthcare for children 2) Disseminate strategies for implementing valid findings of health services research and other tools. When evidence-based strategies are not yet available, best practices from the field based on theoretically sound conceptual frameworks for change are presented as promising approaches for further field tests 3) Inspire collaboration and information sharing among provider organizations and across the multiple stakeholder levels affecting children's health care across the world- patient and family, communities, health care organizations, and the broad political and cultural environment 4) Mobilize efforts to provide better health care for children within the areas of NICHQ's agenda for improving children's health care: Preventing Childhood Obesity, Providing Seamless, Evidence-based, Family Centered Care for Children with Chronic Conditions, Purging Harm from Children's Healthcare, Promoting Equity in Care, Profound Knowledge: Methods and Tools for Improvement In order to achieve the objectives noted above, NICHQ has identified several key target audiences, and has been successful in attracting these audiences to attend. Key attributes of the participants attending include; achievement of some level of management, leadership, or innovation role in an organization and participation in children's health care from one of a variety of potential organizational and disciplinary perspectives. The 6th Annual Forum for Improving Children's Health Care will have many similar aspects as past years; however, this conference will have two major changes. The first is that NICHQ will focus all of our session offerings on five specific tracks that we believe can make the greatest impact in improving children's health care. These five tracks of which four are part of the bold agenda for improving children's health care set forth by Charles Homer, MD, MPH, NICHQ's Chief Executive Officer and an expert in Pediatric Quality Improvement, during his plenary speech at the 5th Annual Forum. The Forum tracks include: Preventing Childhood Obesity, Providing Seamless, Evidence-based, Family Centered Care for Children with Chronic Conditions, Purging Harm from Children's Health Care, Promoting Equity in Care, Profound Knowledge: Methods and Tools for Improvement (including Leadership, IT, and Improvement Methods) In addition, in an effort to align with other organizations dedicated to quality care for children, the 6th Annual Forum will highlight a unique partnership effort between NICHQ and the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI). In 2007, we will co-locate the NICHQ Forum and NACHRI Spring Meeting in San Francisco to allow attendees to become more involved in both meetings and build on each organizations effort around improving the quality of care for children. In particular NICHQ and NACHRI will host a full day patient safety meeting on Sunday, March 18, 2007 which will connect the two larger conferences. The full day patient safety meeting will kick-off the 'Purging Harm from Children's Health Care' track of the 6th Annual Forum. Content will include nationally recognized speakers discussing a variety of topics including a special focus on the interventions of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's 100K Lives Campaign relevant for children's healthcare. NICHQ and NACHRI will work closely to develop this meeting with national leaders and have invited other organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, The Child Healthcare Corporation of American and leaders from mentor hospitals across the country involved in the Pediatric Node of the Campaign to work with us on this shared vision and joint meeting. In five years, NICHQ's Annual Forum has become the central conference for leaders around the country committed to making improvements in children's health care. This event provides a setting in which health care leaders from a variety of disciplines and organizational settings can learn the latest findings in health services research relevant to improving children's health care. Moreover this conference provides an opportunity for these multiple stakeholders to make connections with each other and gain pragmatic skills that will help them translate research into practice. NICHQ bases its activities around a simple framework for promoting change developed by Paul Batalden. (Batalden, 1996); this framework posits three essential pre-requisites for change and improvement: Will Ideas Execution The Annual Forum for Improving Children's Health Care is intended to play a critical role in initiating and accelerating improvement in the quality of children's health care, and is designed specifically around this simple model for promoting improvement in care. The 'Purging Harm from Children's Health Care' track and related activities of the 6th Annual Forum will build will for improvement, disseminate strategies for implementing valid findings, inspire collaboration and information sharing and mobilize efforts to provide better health care for children through patient safety focused sessions and a full day meeting.
