Advancing the Methods of Evaluation of Quality and Safety Practice and Education

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管在改善医疗保健方面取得了显著进展，但可避免的伤害和医疗质量的巨大差异仍然存在。迫切需要在工作队伍中建立质量改进（QI）和安全科学方面的能力和能力，确保有严格的方法来评估QI干预措施，并迅速传播这些努力的结果。跨专业研究人员、教育工作者和一线提供者之间强有力的伙伴关系至关重要。在满足这一需求之前，科学进步对健康结果和保健服务产生影响的速度将继续缓慢得令人无法接受。我们建议医疗保健改进学院（AHI）主办第三届年度会议，题为“推进质量和安全实践与教育评估方法”。为了开始培养一支具有应用和严格评估基于科学的改进干预措施的环境敏感性的技能的跨专业劳动力队伍，AHI将与护士质量和安全教育研究所合作。会议的具体目标是为来自不同学科的关注qi的临床医生、研究人员和教育工作者提供信息和经验，使他们能够通过以下方式提高质量和安全性：1)传达基于证据的方法，在专业社区中建立有效的科学能力，以实现在地方和国家医疗保健环境中创建和促进跨专业社区的目标；2)提供对QI干预措施应用严格评估设计的技能，以便不仅描述有效性，而且描述所涉及的理论和机制；3)揭开科学写作过程的神秘面纱，加强出版和传播的有效改进工作。实现这些目标将导致1)一支跨专业的医疗保健队伍，他们有能力和能力在日常工作中应用QI科学（无论是实践、研究还是以教育为重点），以及2)以QI为重点的临床医生、研究人员和教育工作者，他们经常在工作中应用稳健的评估方法，从而成功地复制有效的医疗保健干预措施，并同时加速改善患者的治疗效果。会议活动将包括主题演讲、工作坊、小组讨论、摘要演讲和写作工作坊。演讲者将包括公认的专家，他们的会议将重点讨论适用于现实环境的方法，并举例说明AHRQ优先人群。会议记录将通过网页链接和推特传播。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite the remarkable progress in improving healthcare, avoidable harm and wide variations in the quality of care remain a reality. There is a critical need to build capability and capacity in the work force on the science of quality improvement (QI) and safety, assure that there are rigorous ways to evaluate QI interventions, and quickly disseminate the results of these efforts. Strong partnerships between interprofessional researchers, educators, and frontline providers are critical. Until this need is met, the pace with which improvement science impacts health outcomes and care delivery will continue to be unacceptably slow. We propose that the Academy for Healthcare Improvement (AHI) sponsor a third annual conference, entitled Advancing the Methods of Evaluation of Quality and Safety Practice and Education. To begin to develop an interprofessional workforce with the skills to apply and rigorously evaluate the context-sensitive effectiveness of improvement science-based interventions, AHI will partner with the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Institute. The conference specific aims are to provide QI-focused clinicians, researchers and educators from a variety of disciplines with information and experience that will enable them to improve quality and safety by: 1) conveying evidence-based methods of building effective capability in improvement science across professional communities toward the goal of creating and facilitating interprofessional communities in local and national healthcare settings, 2) providing skills to apply rigorous evaluation designs to QI interventions in order to delineate not only effectiveness, but also the theory and mechanisms involved, and 3) demystifying the scientific writing process to enhance the publication and dissemination of effective improvement efforts. Achieving these aims will result in 1) an interprofessional healthcare workforce with the capacity and capability to apply QI science in their daily work (whether practice, research or education-focused), and 2) QI-focused clinicians, researchers and educators who routinely apply robust evaluation methods to their work, resulting in successful replication of effective interventions in healthcare and a concomitant acceleration of improved patient outcomes. Conference activities will include keynote lectures, workshops, panel discussions, abstract presentations and writing workshops. Speakers will include recognized experts whose sessions will focus on methods applicable to real-world settings using examples of AHRQ priority populations. Conference proceedings will be disseminated via web links and Twitter feeds.
