PEDSnet学者：儿科学习卫生系统研究人员的培训计划 项目总结/摘要 创建改善儿童健康的学习健康系统（LHS）将需要新一代的研究人员 嵌入到医疗机构的临床操作和转化研究计划中。他们的工作将 直接与患者、家长、提供者和卫生系统领导者的需求保持一致。的 他们创建的证据库将为患者和提供者的健康相关决策提供信息， 系统领导人的决定侧重于提高护理质量和效率。他们还将进行 研究在广泛的背景下可靠地改善健康和福祉的做法的实施情况， 为了使所有儿童受益，并减少因种族、民族和社会而造成的儿童健康方面的持续差异， 经济地位。我们提出的职业发展计划利用了整个大学广泛而多样化的教师队伍。 参与PEDSnet（pedsnet.org）的机构，这是太平洋共同体区域网络的一个研究网络。我们的教师有超过2 在培训儿童健康研究人员进行健康服务和成果研究方面拥有数十年的经验， 实施科学、质量改进和信息学。该项目名为PEDSnet Scholars， 从来自8个儿科学术机构的广泛而多样化的申请人（MD和PhD教师）中脱颖而出 医疗中心。该计划将围绕一个不懈的重点是改善成果。其 领导团队共同领导了AHRQ学习卫生系统研究人员能力的开发（见 Forrest et al，HSR，2017）领导了几项博士后和学院级卫生服务研究，质量 改善，和以患者为中心的成果研究培训计划，并有一个现有的长期 PEDSnet是一个全国性的儿科学习健康系统。49名教职员工提供 额外的研究，改进，领导和信息学专业知识。外部计划咨询小组 由儿科研究和改进以及PEDSnet Engagement的国家领导人组成 由家长和临床医生组成的委员会将支持教师和学者。我们将利用这些 资源：（1）为学者提供密集的指导和培训，共同生产研究， 病人，家长和其他利益相关者在LHS;（2）提供核心课程，建立能力， 开展LHS研究;（3）支持学者的职业发展，包括帮助创建职业地图 将学者的学术成功与对患者、家庭和健康有价值的富有成效的研究结合起来， 系统;以及，（4）创建一个年轻教师社区，他们将成为他们机构的领导者， 国家在实现LHS研究对儿童的承诺。每位学者的导师团队将包括 一名当地科学家、一名高级卫生系统主管和一名来自另一家PEDSnet机构的科学家。的 该计划将产生学者，其职业生涯符合儿童，儿科输送系统的需求， 他们的社区。这些人将为共同的临床决策和有效的 我们必须采取基于系统的干预措施，使我们更接近于改善所有儿童健康的目标。

PEDSnet Scholars: A Training Program for Pediatric Learning Health System Researchers Project Summary/Abstract Creating learning health systems (LHSs) that improve child health will require a new generation of researchers embedded in healthcare organizations’ clinical operations and translational research programs. Their work will directly align with the expressed needs of patients, parents, providers, and health system leaders. The evidence base they create will inform health-related decisions of patients and providers and will inform decisions of system leaders focused on improving the quality and efficiency of care. They will also conduct research on implementation of practices that reliably improve health and wellbeing in a wide range of contexts, in order to benefit all children, and to reduce persistent disparities in child health by race, ethnicity, and socio- economic status. Our proposed career development program leverages a broad and diverse faculty across the participating institutions in PEDSnet (pedsnet.org), a research network in PCORnet. Our faculty has over 2 decades of experience in training child health researchers in health services and outcomes research, implementation science, quality improvement, and informatics. The program, called PEDSnet Scholars, will draw from an extensive and diverse pool of applicants (MD and PhD faculty) from 8 pediatric academic medical centers. The program will be organized around an unrelenting focus on improving outcomes. Its Leadership Team co-led the development of the AHRQ learning health system researcher competencies (see Forrest et al, HSR, 2017), has led several post-doctoral and faculty-level health services research, quality improvement, and patient-centered outcomes research training programs, and has an existing long-term relationship working in PEDSnet, a national pediatric learning health system. The 49-member faculty provides additional research, improvement, leadership, and informatics expertise. An external Program Advisory Panel composed of national leaders in pediatric research and improvement and the PEDSnet Engagement Committee composed of parents and clinicians will support the faculty and scholars. We will leverage these resources to: (1) provide scholars with intensive mentorship and training in co-production of research among patients, parents, and other stakeholders in LHSs; (2) deliver a core curriculum that builds competence in conducting LHS research; (3) support scholar career development, including helping to create a career map that aligns scholars’ academic success with productive research of value to patients, families, and health systems; and, (4) create a community of junior faculty who will become leaders in their institutions and the nation in realizing the promise of LHS research for children. The mentorship team for each Scholar will include a local scientist, a senior health system executive, and a scientist from another PEDSnet institution. The program will produce Scholars whose careers align with the needs of children, pediatric delivery systems, and their communities. These individuals will provide the evidence for shared clinical decisions and effective system-based interventions that will bring us closer to the goal of improved health for all children.
