SPROUT-CTSA Collaborative Telehealth Research Network

项目概要和摘要 远程医疗是一个快速增长和不断发展的领域，包括为各种各样的患者提供医疗保健服务 通过音频视频连接和其他形式的电子通信。由于这种快速的进化 以及由此产生的全国各地不同远程医疗实践的多样性和复杂性， 研究远程医疗服务对医疗保健成本，质量和可及性的影响历来是一个 挑战. SPROUT（支持远程医疗成果和利用的儿科研究） 协作成立于2016年，与美国儿科学会合作， 通过开展多中心远程医疗研究，评估儿科远程医疗服务 该项目的实施和实践，并迅速发展到包括全国104个医疗机构。 SPROUT-CTSA协作远程保健研究网络将加强现有的基础设施， SPROUT的专业知识与国家CTSA联盟的既定研究资源， 反复测试、增强和传播临床和转化远程医疗的创新模式 research.通过创建和传播多中心远程医疗研究的工具，我们将弥合差距 远程医疗发展和将远程医疗纳入医疗保健系统之间的关系。我们的具体目标是 1）为多站点远程保健研究建立一个强大的平台，并加强和扩大现有的工具， 登记，以及有效开展远程保健研究的最佳做法，包括针对研究工作的工具 在现有的远程保健证据库中找出差距; 2）开发和整合培训和教育 SPROUT-CTSA网络中与多站点远程医疗研究相关的模块和研讨会 设计、研究实施、招募和数据管理;以及3）开发有效的基础设施， 传播远程保健研究成果、新出现的最佳做法和新的研究工具。该网络将 有助于将研究重点纳入全国远程保健的文化和意识。我们有 组建了一个多学科的调查小组，集体掌握了远程保健的发展， 实施、多中心研究方法、经济评价和方针政策制定。 SPROUT-CTSA网络将由来自南卡罗来纳州医科大学的研究人员领导， 科罗拉多大学-丹佛分校、费城儿童医院和Mercy Virtual， 协调美国儿科学会的支持。我们将共同克服许多障碍 多点远程医疗研究，并创建必要的工具，以弥合远程医疗发展之间的差距 以及将远程医疗整合到医疗保健系统中。

PROJECT SUMMARY & ABSTRACT Telehealth is a rapidly growing and evolving field, encompassing healthcare delivery for a wide variety of patients through audio-video connections and other forms of electronic communication. Because of this rapid evolution and the resulting variety and complexity of different telehealth practices across the country, conducting quality research into the impact of telehealth services on healthcare costs, quality, and access has historically been a challenge. The SPROUT (Supporting Pediatric Research on Outcomes and Utilization of Telehealth) Collaborative was established in 2016, in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, to rigorously evaluate pediatric telehealth services through the development of multicenter research on telehealth implementation and practice, and has grown rapidly to include 104 healthcare institutions across the country. The SPROUT-CTSA Collaborative Telehealth Research Network will enhance the existing infrastructure and expertise of SPROUT with the established research resources of the national CTSA Consortium to develop, iteratively test and enhance, and disseminate an innovative model for clinical and translational telehealth research. By creating and disseminating the tools for multicenter telehealth research, we will bridge the gap between telehealth development and integration of telehealth into the healthcare system. Our Specific Aims are to: 1) Establish a robust platform for multisite telehealth research, and enhance and expand existing tools, registries, and best practices for efficient telehealth study conduct, including tools to target research efforts towards identified gaps in the existing telehealth evidence base; 2) Develop and integrate training and education modules and workshops across the SPROUT-CTSA Network related to multisite telehealth research study design, study conduct, recruitment, and data management; and 3) Develop an effective infrastructure to disseminate telehealth research findings, emerging best practices, and new research tools. The network will serve to integrate a research focus into the culture and consciousness of telehealth nationwide. We have assembled a multidisciplinary team of investigators with collective mastery of telehealth development and implementation, multicenter research methodology, economic evaluation, and guideline and policy development. The SPROUT-CTSA Network will be led by investigators from the Medical University of South Carolina, University of Colorado – Denver, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Mercy Virtual, with national coordinating support from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Together, we will overcome many of the barriers to multisite telehealth research and create the tools necessary to bridge the gap between telehealth development and integration of telehealth into healthcare systems.
