Advancing the Methods for Healthcare Quality Improvement Research

描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议的主题是“推进医疗质量改进研究的方法”，旨在提升质量改进研究的价值，从而建立一个证据基础，指导质量改进在基于价值的护理中的有效应用，从而改善患者的治疗效果。文献现在为我们提供了质量改进的最佳方法的例子，患者登记和比较有效性的增加为最先进的质量改进研究和未来需求的想法提供了新的机会。会议主题和练习采用广义的质量改进研究定义；它扩展到从有效性试验到实施科学（混合研究）的过渡，从质量改进试验（如集群随机设计）到使用多因素干预和过程控制图的“现场”组织中的改进举措，进入患者登记和比较有效性的交叉点，并解决卫生保健差异的政策问题。通过重点关注关键的新兴主题，然后审查选定的案例和报告，这次会议将传播这些技术应用的传播，并建立一个论坛，以确定未来研究的需要。本次会议是为那些对医疗保健质量改进研究的最佳方法和对改善医疗服务的质量改进计划的严格评估感兴趣的人而举办的。会议注册将向有意通过研究和教育促进卫生保健质量改善的提供者、机构、机构、卫生计划、购买者、决策者和消费者开放。主讲人将从学术的角度介绍质量改进方面值得注意的问题。将有讲台上的演讲和征集论文的海报，以及基于案例的学习，以说明最佳实践。实施科学作为实现卫生保健质量、安全、效率和有效性目标的一种战略方法的贡献很容易被忽视，因为在科学文献中没有可靠的发表记录。本次会议的目的是促进和传播将为系统质量改进产生最佳证据的方法。会议报告和会议记录将为未来的研究和政策提供信息，并有助于促进新的合作学术关系的形成，致力于更好地提供卫生保健。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of the conference about "Advancing the Methods for Healthcare Quality Improvement Research" is to elevate the value of quality improvement research so it impacts an evidence base that guides effective application of quality improvement for value-based care and, thus, better patient outcomes. The literature now provides us with examples of best methods for quality improvement and the rise of patient registries and comparative effectiveness provides new opportunities for state-of-the-art of quality improvement research and ideas for future needs. The conference topics and exercises take a broad definition for quality improvement research; it expands into the transition from effectiveness trials to implementation science (hybrid studies), spans from quality improvement trials (such as cluster randomized designs) to improvement initiatives in "live" organizations using multifactorial interventions and process control charts, enters the intersection of patient registries and comparative effectiveness, and addresses the policy issues of health care disparities. By a focus on key emerging topics and then review of select cases and presentations, this conference will disseminate the spread of these technical applications and a forum to identify needs for future research. This meeting is for those interested in best methods for healthcare quality improvement research and rigorous evaluation of quality improvement initiatives for improving care delivery. The meeting registration will be open to providers, institutions, agencies, health plans, purchasers, policy makers, and consumers who intend to advance quality improvement in health care through research and education. Keynote speakers will present on noteworthy issues around quality improvement from a scholarship point of view. There will be podium presentations and posters from a call for papers and case-based learning illustrating best practices. The contribution of implementation science as a strategic approach for the goal of quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care is too easily overlooked without a solid record of publication in the scientific literature. The purpose of this conference is the promotion and dissemination of methods that will generate the best evidence for systematic quality improvement. The conference presentations and the conference proceedings will inform future research and policy and help promote formation of new collaborative scholarly relationships devoted toward better delivery of health care. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The conference about "Advancing the Methods for Healthcare Quality Improvement Research" is on elevating the value of quality improvement research so it impacts an evidence base that guides effective application of quality improvement in the system of value-based care and, thus, better patient outcomes. The meeting registration will be open to providers, institutions, agencies, health plans, purchasers, policy makers, and consumers who intend to advance quality improvement in health care through research and education. The conference presentations and the conference proceedings will inform future research and policy and help promote formation of new collaborative scholarly relationships devoted toward better delivery of health care.
