Primary Care and Prevention Conference

简介（由申请人提供）：莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM）提议召开年度初级保健和预防会议。在过去的八年中，临床医生、研究人员和其他医疗保健/专业人员参加了这次会议，为我们的全国受众提供了将研究转化为实践（最佳科学转化为最佳实践）的继续教育机会，以及一线最佳实践的双向机会，以更好地为研究人员和决策者提供信息。我们预计在未来三年内，会议活动和会议间活动将达到1000多名与会者，并通过会议传播活动再增加10-15,000人。会议及其活动的目的有三个：1)综合、总结研究成果，并将其传达给广泛的组织和个人，以改善患者的健康状况；2)制定国家战略，将研究成果转化并传播给公共和私人决策者；3)形成合作伙伴关系，支持地方倡议和医疗保健提供者向服务不足的社区伸出援手。第一年提议的为期三天的会议将于2010年9月22日至9月24日在乔治亚州亚特兰大举行。该活动将提供基于证据的初级保健临床更新，公共卫生前沿理论，并为从业者提供与来自社区，学术和其他背景的广泛参与者互动的机会。这种内容和使命的结合已成为这次初级保健和预防会议的标志，根据评估报告，这是使它与众不同并对预期的400名与会者有用的因素。会议议程将集中讨论与性别、种族和民族、收入和教育、残疾、农村卫生和性取向有关的健康差异。规划还将涵盖2010年28个健康人重点领域中的许多领域，包括：获得优质保健服务；癌症;慢性肾病；糖尿病;残疾和继发性疾病；心脏病和中风；艾滋病毒;免疫接种和传染病；产妇、婴儿和儿童保健；心理健康;营养和超重；体育活动和健康；公共卫生基础设施；药物滥用;烟草使用;还有视觉和听觉。

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) proposes the convening of the Annual Primary Care and Prevention Conference. This conference, attended by clinicians, researchers and other healthcare/ professionals for the last eight years, provides a continuing education opportunity for translating research into practice (best science to best-practice) for our national audience, as well as a bi-directional opportunity for front-line best practice to better inform researchers and policy-makers. We project that during the next three years, conference activities and inter-conference activities would reach more than 1,000 conference participants and another 10-15,000 individuals through conference dissemination activities. The purpose of the conference and its activities is threefold: 1) to synthesize, summarize, and communicate research findings to a broad range of organizations and individuals who can improve the health outcomes of their patients; 2) to develop national strategies for translating and disseminating research to public and private decision makers; and 3) to form collaborative partnerships that support local initiatives and healthcare providers in reaching out to under-served communities. The first year's proposed three-day meeting would take place from September 22nd through September 24th, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will offer evidence-based primary care clinical updates, cutting edge theory in public health, and opportunities for practitioners to interact with a wide range of participants from community, academic, and other backgrounds. This combination of content and mission has become the hallmark of this primary care and prevention meeting and, according to evaluation reports, is the element that will make it different and useful to the 400 expected participants. The meeting agenda will offer sessions focused on health disparities related to gender, race and ethnicity, income and education, disability, rural health, and sexual orientation. Programming will also cover many of the 28 Healthy People 2010 focus areas including: access to quality health services; cancer; chronic kidney disease; diabetes; disability and secondary conditions; heart disease and stroke; HIV; immunizations and infectious disease; maternal, infant, and child health; mental health; nutrition and overweight; physical activity and fitness; public health infrastructure; substance abuse; tobacco use; and vision and hearing. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEAVANCE: As with past conferences, Morehouse School of Medicine faculty members and our community-clinician partners propose to plan this ninth year conference as a "bidirectional learning experience" between academic experts and front-line clinician-experts for evidenced based primary care and public health strategies and interventions especially focused on improving health outcomes in and with high-disparity communities. To address the Healthy People 2010 (HP2010) goals and to meet needs cited by participants of past conferences, the programming committee will focus on health disparities related to gender, race and ethnicity, income and education, disability, and rural health. The event will offer evidence-based primary care clinical updates, cutting edge theory in public health, and opportunities for practitioners to interact with a wide range of participants from community, academic, and other backgrounds.
