16th and 17th HMO Research Network Annual Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：该提案请求美国国家癌症研究所(NCI)支持HMO研究网络(HMORN)第16和第17届年会。HMORN是一个由16个国家和国际公认的研究中心组成的联盟，总部设在综合医疗保健提供系统中，专注于进行非专有的临床、流行病学和卫生服务研究。HMORN年度会议提供了一个场所，来自关键利益攸关方群体(卫生研究人员、付款人、提供者、政策制定者)的代表可以在其中互动，以促进科学和卫生。会议的具体目的是：1)交流和传播最新的研究成果，特别强调以翻译(T1、T2、T3、T4)为重点的研究会议；2)讨论经验研究结果，以促进共识和刺激创新：3)确定与医疗研究和提供相关的新兴主题和方法，以及4)通过分组随机临床试验、形成协作研究网络、虚拟数据仓库和纳入不同人群，提高比较有效性和实施研究。癌症研究一直是过去15届HMORN年度会议的一个突出特点。在癌症研究网络(CRN)的协调下，在会议上提出的癌症研究跨越了预防、治疗、监测和生存的主题。2010年会议的主题是医疗研究和交付领域的新兴前沿，展示了HMORN的承诺，即超越网络和我们的传统合作者，分享我们的经验，讨论工具和技术，并扩大在尖端医疗研究和交付领域建立富有成效的公私合作伙伴关系的机会。该议程将与NCI支持癌症研究、研究培训和支持癌症研究网络的使命紧密结合。2011年会议的暂定主题是“跨医疗保健系统的合作研究”。 公共卫生相关性：HMO研究网络的年度会议支持16个研究中心的协作工作。这些研究中心都以综合医疗系统为基础，进行临床、流行病学和卫生服务研究。这些健康计划以其稳定的人群、电子医疗记录以及关注整个人群或单个患者的能力，为研究提供了完美的环境。该网络的使命是利用其集体能力进行可以很容易地转化为医疗保健的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests National Cancer Institute (NCI) support for the 16th and 17th annual conferences of the HMO Research Network (HMORN). The HMORN is a consortium of 16 nationally and internationally recognized research centers based in integrated health care delivery systems that focus on conducting non-proprietary clinical, epidemiologic, and health services research. The HMORN annual conference provides a venue in which representatives from key stakeholder groups (health researchers, payers, providers, policymakers) can interact to advance science and health. The specific aims of the conferences are to: 1) Communicate and disseminate state-of-the-science research findings, with a specific emphasis on translational (T1, T2, T3, T4) research-focused sessions; 2) Discuss empirical findings to promote consensus and stimulate innovation: 3) Define emerging topics and methodologies related to healthcare research and delivery, and 4) Advance comparative effectiveness and implementation research via cluster randomized clinical trials, formation of collaborative research networks, virtual data warehouses, and inclusion of diverse populations. Cancer research has been a prominent feature of all of the past 15 HMORN annual conferences. Coordinated by the Cancer Research Network (CRN), cancer research presented at the conference spans the topics of prevention, treatment, surveillance, and survivorship. The theme of the 2010 meeting, Emerging Frontiers in Healthcare Research and Delivery, demonstrates the HMORN commitment to reach beyond the network and our traditional collaborators to share our experiences, discuss tools and technologies, and expand opportunities for productive public-private partnerships in cutting-edge healthcare research and delivery. The agenda will be closely aligned with NCI's mission to support cancer research, research training, and to support cancer research networks. The tentative theme for the 2011 conference is "Collaborative Research Across Heath Care Systems"'. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The HMO Research Network's annual meetings support the collaborative work of 16 research centers. These research centers are all based in integrated healthcare systems and conduct clinical, epidemiologic, and health services research. These health plans provide the perfect environment for research with their stable populations, electronic medical records, and ability to focus on the whole population or a single patient. The Network's mission is to use its collective capabilities to conduct research that can be easily translated into medical care.
