The Role of Academic Detailing In Health Care Improvement

描述（由申请人提供）：学术细节（AD）干预措施对AHRQ的既定使命有很大影响，该使命是提高患者医疗保健的质量、安全性、有效性和效率。AD帮助临床医生做出更明智的决定，从而获得更好的护理。虽然AD是在20世纪80年代开发的（由AHRQ的前身机构提供资金），但从来没有召开过关于AD发展的会议。全国和世界各地的许多AD项目都充当了该领域的孤立实验室，缺乏共享信息、确定最佳实践和形成富有成效的合作的场所。定期召开会议将有助于分享知识，并将有助于在不断变化的卫生保健环境中指导和改进这一领域。我们建议在2013年、2014年和2015年的秋季举办会议，名为“学术细节在医疗保健改善中的作用”，重点关注增强AD对医疗保健改善举措的影响。这些会议的具体目标是：1。向医疗界传播AD的发展；展示广告的最佳实践，以提高质量；3 .确定AD在美国医疗体系演变中的作用；扩大和加强AD组织的国际网络。会议将以演讲为特色，有充足的时间进行讨论和分组讨论；这两种类型的会议都将讨论当前的知识状况，分享最佳做法并确定该领域的新问题。每年都会有直接影响到重点人群的主题。来自一年级会议的参与者和演讲者将通过评估和调查来帮助确定二年级和三年级的议程。会议将涉及各种各样的利益相关者，他们将被邀请参加，包括使用AD的公共和私人组织，医疗补助机构，政策制定者，公共卫生机构，学术界，保险公司，对医疗保健改善感兴趣的非营利组织和消费者。这些会议将产生对美国更大的AD社区有价值的教育材料。会议将在波士顿进行现场直播，所有材料将在会议结束后在线提供（演示视频和pdf）。无论是国内还是国际上，AD组织从未召开过会议，而系列会议将是加强AD实践的关键一步。最终，从这些会议中分享讨论和培训将导致全球AD的实践变化，并将提高医疗保健系统制定变化的准备程度。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Academic detailing (AD) interventions have a large impact on AHRQ's stated mission of improving the quality, safety, effectiveness and efficiency of health care for patients. AD helps clinicians make more informed decisions that lead to better care. Although AD was developed in the 1980s (with funding from AHRQ's predecessor agency), there has never been a conference focusing on AD developments. The many AD programs around the country and the world have acted as isolated laboratories for the field, lacking a venue to share information, identify best practices, and form productive collaborations. A recurring conference would allow the sharing of knowledge and will help guide and improve the field within the evolving health care landscape. We propose to host conferences in the Fall of 2013, 2014 and 2015 called, "The Role of Academic Detailing in Health Care Improvement" to focus on enhancing the impact of AD on health care improvement initiatives. The specific aims of these conferences are: 1. to disseminate developments in AD to the healthcare community, 2. to showcase best practices in AD to improve quality, 3. to define the role of AD in the evolution of the US healthcare system, and, 4. to expand and reinforce the international network of AD organizations. The conferences will feature presentations with ample time for discussion and breakout sessions; both session types will address the current state of knowledge, share best practices and identify emerging issues in the field. There will be topics each year that directly affect priority populations. Participants and speakers from the Year 1 conference will help decide the agendas for Years 2 & 3 through evaluations and surveys. The conferences will be relevant to a wide variety of stakeholders who will be invited to participate, including public and private organizations using AD, Medicaid agencies, policymakers, public health agencies, academia, insurers, non-profits interested in health care improvement and consumers. The conferences will produce educational materials that will have value to the greater AD community in the US. The conference will be streamed live from Boston and all materials will be available online after the conference (presentation videos and PDFs). There has never been a meeting of AD organizations, either nationally or internationally, and a conference series will represent a critical step to strengthen AD practice. Ultimately, the sharing deliberations and trainings from these meetings will lead to practice changes for AD worldwide and will improve the readiness of the healthcare system to enact change.
