Society for Pediatric Sedation Consensus Meeting: Defining Quality in Pediatric S

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要/摘要新技术，改进的药物，先进的监测，以及对治疗儿科疼痛和不适的日益关注，导致过去10年来对儿科镇静的需求增加。指数增长导致了儿科镇静实践的各个方面的广泛变化。认识到当前儿科镇静实践的不一致性，儿科镇静学会将召集一个由镇静提供者和质量方法专家组成的多学科专家组，其任务是开始定义与儿科镇静领域相关的质量的过程。受邀与会者将在2011年10月召开的儿科镇静共识会议：定义儿科镇静质量。 由来自美国各地的与会者组成的六个小型工作组将围绕医学研究所（IOM）的6个质量目标组织起来：安全，有效，以患者为中心，及时，高效和公平。工作组将探讨与儿科镇静相关的目标的共识领域。共识会议的目的是为了传播：1）IOM的六个质量目标的定义，因为它们与儿科镇静有关; 2）关于如何在儿科镇静领域内测量质量的建议; 3）对与儿科镇静有关的既定协议和实践以及建立质量基准所需的其他协议和实践的评估;以及，4）建议该领域的研究和教育优先事项，以进一步确定和测量儿科镇静质量的工作。会议的结果将解决机构的医疗保健研究和质量（AHRQ）的使命，提高质量，安全性，效率和有效性的医疗保健为所有美国人。 儿科镇静学会致力于解决AHRQ确定的这一优先人群的医疗保健需求。 公共卫生相关性：儿科镇静学会的使命是通过促进安全、高质量的护理、创新研究和高质量的专业教育，成为儿科镇静进步的多学科领导者。通过AHRQ会议支持小额赠款计划提供的资金将为儿科镇静和质量专家提供一个论坛，以收集和开始建立，首次，质量标准，指标和研究重点围绕儿科镇静。通过协商一致会议产生的大量工作将通过建立急需的质量标准和关于镇静的倡议，改善我们脆弱群体之一-儿童-的个人和公共健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract New technologies, improved medications, advanced monitoring, and increased attention to treating pediatric pain and discomfort has led to increased demand for pediatric sedation in the last 10 years. The exponential growth has led to wide variations in all aspects of pediatric sedation practice. Recognizing the inconsistencies in current pediatric sedation practices, the Society for Pediatric Sedation will convene a multidisciplinary expert group of sedation providers and quality methodology experts with the task to begin the process of defining quality as it relates to the field of pediatric sedation. The invited participants will convene at the Society of Pediatric Sedation Consensus Meeting: Defining Quality in Pediatric Sedation in October of 2011. Six small workgroups comprised of meeting participants from around the United States will be organized around the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 6 aims of quality: Safe, Effective, Patient Centered, Timely, Efficient, and Equitable. The workgroups will explore areas of consensus around the aims as they relate to pediatric sedation. The objective of the consensus meeting is to produce for dissemination: 1) definitions of the IOM's six aims of quality as they relate to pediatric sedation; 2) recommendations on how quality can be measured within the field of pediatric sedation; 3) an assessment of established protocols and practices related to pediatric sedation and others needed to establish quality benchmarks; and, 4) recommended research and educational priorities for the field to further the work in defining and measuring quality within pediatric sedation. The meeting findings will address the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission of improving quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. The Society of Pediatric Sedation is dedicated to addressing the health care needs of this priority population identified by AHRQ. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Narrative The mission of the Society for Pediatric Sedation is to be the multidisciplinary leader in the advancement of pediatric sedation by promoting safe, high quality care, innovative research and quality professional education. Funding through the AHRQ Small Grant Program for Conference Support will provide a forum for pediatric sedation and quality experts to gather and begin establishing, for the first time, quality standards, metrics and research priorities around pediatric sedation. The body of work produced through the consensus meeting will improve the individual and public health of one of our vulnerable populations - children - by establishing much needed quality standards and initiatives regarding sedation.
