The Role of Academic Detailing In Health Care Improvement

描述(由申请人提供)：学术细节(AD)干预对AHRQ所宣称的提高患者医疗保健质量、安全性、有效性和效率的使命有很大影响。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)，但从来没有一个会议专注于AD的发展。全国和世界各地的许多AD项目都像是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。定期举行的会议将允许分享知识，并将有助于指导和改进不断发展的保健领域的领域。我们建议在2013、2014和2015年的秋季举办名为“学术细节在医疗保健改进中的作用”的会议，以重点加强AD对医疗保健改进倡议的影响。这些会议的具体目标是：1.向医疗保健社区传播AD的发展；2.展示AD方面的最佳实践以提高质量；3.确定AD在美国医疗系统发展中的作用；以及4.扩大和加强AD组织的国际网络。会议将以专题介绍为特色，有充足的时间进行讨论和分组讨论；两种类型的会议都将讨论当前的知识状况，分享最佳做法，并查明该领域新出现的问题。每年都会有直接影响优先人口的主题。第一年会议的与会者和发言者将通过评估和调查帮助决定第二年和第三年的议程。这些会议将与将被邀请参加的各种利益攸关方有关，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、对改善医疗保健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。会议将从波士顿现场直播，所有材料将在会议结束后在线提供(演示视频和PDF)。国内或国际上从未召开过反兴奋剂组织会议，一系列会议将是加强反兴奋剂实践的关键一步。最终，这些会议的分享讨论和培训将导致AD在全球范围内的实践变化，并将改善医疗保健系统实施变化的准备。

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.
