Evaluating Practice Transformation

描述（由申请人提供）：北美初级保健研究小组（NAPCRG）建议在2012年12月的年度会议上召开为期一天的会前会议和五个1.5小时的研讨会。其目的将是通过准备初级保健研究人员研究初级保健实践改进的持续进展和培育实践重新设计的新兴科学，以改善医疗保健服务，进一步推动医疗保健研究和质量机构的使命。目标是：1.直接暴露约125初级保健研究人员的循证模型，方法和测量工具进行实践转型的评价; 2。将初级保健研究人员与其他学科的研究人员联系起来，拓宽他们对实践改进研究的视角; 3.促进跨学科研究和分享最佳做法。随着健康和医疗保健的日益全球化，我们必须合作设计解决方案，以提高医疗保健质量并简化交付系统。在会前，NAPCRG将聘请来自其他学科的专家，如经济学和系统工程，以扩大我们的概念模型评估实践重新设计。在NAPCRG年会的嵌入式研讨会上，与会者将探讨：初级保健创新的出现：将实践中的实践智慧与分析理论相结合;在日常实践中嵌入测量：在捕获关键信息的同时减少测量负担，专注于测量什么和如何测量;在实践/系统重新设计中捕获，表征和分类创新：使创新易于获得;分析一个移动的目标：适用于初级保健系统重新设计的新兴科学的方法;和传播初级保健系统重新设计的创新：从理论到实践方法。NAPCRG将发布会议记录，鼓励发布会议文件，并开发一个门户网站，用于会议记录，文件和视频以及资源和互动平台，以继续在年会上发起的讨论。 公共卫生相关性：通过更好地了解实践改进，初级保健研究人员和临床医生可以实现他们的目标，最大限度地提高患者安全，医疗保健质量，获得医疗保健，医疗保健服务的效率和有效性，并最终提高人口的福祉。北美初级保健研究小组将支持研究人员和实践的努力，通过一系列学习模块，为评价和研究实践重新设计制定一个逻辑模型，这些模块将与2012年12月的年度会议一起召开。加强研究工作将促进和通报实践改进。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) is proposing to convene a day-long preconference and five 1.5 hour workshops embedded in its December 2012 annual meeting. The purpose will be to further the mission of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality by preparing primary care researchers to study ongoing advancements in primary care practice improvement and nurturing the emerging science of practice redesign in order to improve healthcare delivery. The objectives are to: 1. Directly expose approximately 125 primary care researchers to the evidence-based models, methods, and measurement tools required to conduct evaluation of practice transformation; 2. Connect primary care researchers with researchers from other disciplines to broaden their perspective on practice improvement research; and 3. Facilitate interdisciplinary research and sharing of best practices. With the increasing globalization of health and health care, it is imperative that we collaboratively design solutions that enhance the quality of health care and streamline delivery systems. At the preconference, NAPCRG will engage experts from other disciplines, such as economics and systems engineering, to broaden our conceptual model for evaluating practice redesign. In the embedded workshops in NAPCRG's annual meeting, participants will explore: Emergence of innovation in primary care: blending practical wisdom from practice with analytic theory; Embedding measurement in everyday practice: reducing the burdens of measurement while capturing critical information, focusing on what and how to measure; Capturing, characterizing, and categorizing innovations in practice/system redesign: making innovations accessible; Analyzing a moving target: methods applicable to the emerging science of primary care systems redesign; and Spreading innovations in primary care systems redesign: moving from theory to practical methods. NAPCRG will publish proceedings and encourage publication of conference papers as well as develop a web portal for proceedings, papers, and video from the conference as well as resources and an interactive platform to continue the discussions launched at the annual meeting. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Through a better understanding of practice improvement, primary care researchers and clinicians can fulfill their goals of maximizing patient safety, healt care quality, access to health care, efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery, and, ultimately, the well-being of the population. The North American Primary Care Research Group will support the efforts of researchers and practices by laying out a logical model for evaluating and studying practice redesign through a series of learning modules to be convened in conjunction with its annual meeting in December 2012. Enhancing research efforts will facilitate and inform practice improvement.
