Primary Care Ambulatory Health Information Technology and Patient Safety Conferen

描述(申请人提供)：本次为期一天半的会议的目的是为初级保健医学和其他相关健康领域的教育工作者和研究人员提供一个论坛，了解在非卧床初级保健患者安全方面的最新研究和教育项目发展。这次会议仿照2003年举行的一次非常成功的类似会议，将促进向医生、护士、药剂师和其他专职保健专业人员传播有关初级保健门诊患者安全的研究和教育计划。最终目标是确保门诊初级保健环境对患者、工作人员和提供者来说是安全的环境。许多领先的门诊初级保健患者安全研究人员和教育工作者，包括医生、护士、药剂师和其他专职卫生专业人员将介绍在卫生信息技术和患者安全领域的最新工作。四位全国知名的主讲人已同意为项目介绍提供背景。这次会议将增加目前AHRQ向临床医生和研究人员传播研究结果的努力，并将重点放在教育工作者和教育项目上，这是一个至关重要的方面。 这次会议得到了初级保健组织联盟(PCOC)成员组织的热烈和一致的支持，其中包括非卧床儿科协会。参与组织和传播计划的其他重要组织包括美国家庭医生学会和普通内科医学学会。PCOC是由家庭医学、内科医学和儿科学领域的领先专业和教育组织合作的组织。我们将努力确保所有材料符合508标准，以便于PCOC组织和AHRQ分发和发布会议总结材料。考虑到由于医疗差错和缺乏患者安全而导致的高死亡率和高发病率，这次会议与这个国家的公共卫生具有明显而令人信服的相关性。医疗差错发生在门诊和住院护理中，如果要在21世纪继续改善公众的健康状况，必须很好地理解这两者，并有效地向21世纪的临床医生和其他专职卫生专业学生传授这两方面的知识。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this day-and-a-half meeting is to provide a forum for educators and researchers in primary care medicine and other allied health fields, such as nursing and pharmacy, to learn about recent research and educational program development in ambulatory primary care patient safety. Modeled on a similar, highly- successful conference held in 2003, this meeting will stimulate dissemination of research and educational programs regarding primary care ambulatory patient safety to physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other allied health professionals. The ultimate goal is to ensure that ambulatory primary care settings are safe environments for patients, staff, and providers. A number of leading ambulatory primary care patient safety researchers and educators, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other allied health professionals will present recent work in the areas of health information technology and patient safety. Four nationally known keynote speakers have agreed to provide a context for the project presentations. The conference will add to the current AHRQ efforts to disseminate findings to clinicians and researchers as well as a critically important dimension that focuses on educators and educational programs. This meeting is enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed by member organizations of the Primary Care Organizations Consortium (PCOC), including the Ambulatory Pediatric Association. Additional important organizations that are involved in the organization and dissemination plans include the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Society for General Internal Medicine. PCOC is a collaboration of the leading professional and educational organizations in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. We will work to ensure that all materials are 508 compliant to make it simple for PCOC organizations and AHRQ to disseminate and post conference summary materials. This conference has an obvious and compelling relevance to the public health of this nation given the high levels of mortality and morbidity that have been well documented in this country due to medical errors and the lack of patient safety. Medical errors occur in outpatient as well as inpatient care and both must be well understood and taught effectively to 21st century clinicians and other allied health professional students if the health of the public" is to continue to improve in the 21st century.
