Assessing Real-World Impact of Clinical Interventions and Outcomes: The Science o

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的“动态评估”会议将研究基于生态的评估方法在医疗保健干预提供和临床结果测量中的应用。传统上，动态评估方法被用于了解生物心理社会过程，因为它们在时间和背景中自然展开，包括经验采样，重复输入日记技术和生理功能，身体活动和运动的动态监测等方法。本次拟议的会议将通过以下方式促进门诊评估方法在临床实践中的应用：1）提供有关测量影响，研究设计和使用这些方法进行的知识基础; 2）形成来自不同学科的研究人员和临床医生的协作网络（例如，康复医学、心理学、流变学、工程师）;以及3）通过出版特刊提供会议研究的全面综合。有必要建立协作网络，并为临床目的提供关于门诊评估的中央信息来源。2009年6月，在德国的格赖夫斯瓦尔德召开了新成立的核心国际流动评估研究人员小组（流动评估学会）的第一次会议，重点是提供有关流动评估的信息并介绍成员。这次会议有很多心理学家参加，但也有一组来自不同学科的研究人员使用动态评估进行干预开发，交付或临床结果测量。在密歇根大学物理医学和康复系的支持下，我们2011年的门诊评估会议的目标是充分探索门诊评估在临床上的应用。由于这些方法在医学、康复和心理学等多个学科中的迅速发展，本次会议非常及时，适用于密歇根大学及其他地区的许多研究人员。 公共卫生相关性：拟议中的“动态评估”会议将研究基于“现实世界”的评估方法在医疗干预提供和医疗干预结果测量中的使用和应用。在为期21/2天的会议期间，来自不同学科的动态评估研究人员将在正式演讲后的讨论和单独的分组会议中介绍他们的工作并交流想法。演讲者的演讲摘要将被汇编成一份手稿，提供一个基础的知识流动评估方法，以促进其在康复研究中的使用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed conference on "Ambulatory Assessment" will examine the application of ecologically-based assessment methods to health care intervention delivery and clinical outcome measurement. Ambulatory assessment methods have traditionally been used to understand biopsychosocial processes as they naturally unfold in time and in context and include methodologies such as experience sampling, repeated-entry diary techniques, and ambulatory monitoring of physiological function, physical activity and movement. This proposed conference will facilitate application of ambulatory assessment methods to clinical practice by: 1) providing a foundation of knowledge on measurement implications, research design, and conduct using these methods; 2) forming collaborative networks of researchers and clinicians from different disciplines (e.g., rehabilitation medicine, psychology, rheumatology, engineers); and 3) providing a comprehensive synthesis of research from the conference by publication of a special issue. There is a need to form collaborative networks and provide a central source of information on ambulatory assessment for clinical purposes. The first meeting of a newly-established core international group of ambulatory assessment researchers (Society of Ambulatory Assessment) took place in June 2009 in Greifswald, Germany and focused on providing information on ambulatory assessment and introducing members. The meeting was heavily attended by psychologists, but there was also a group of researchers from different disciplines using ambulatory assessment for intervention development, delivery, or clinical outcome measurement. With support from the University of Michigan Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, our goal for a 2011 Society of Ambulatory Assessment meeting is to fully explore the application of ambulatory assessment for clinical purposes. Due to the burgeoning use of these methods in several disciplines, such as medicine, rehabilitation, and psychology, this conference is timely and applicable to many researchers at the University of Michigan and beyond. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed conference on "Ambulatory Assessment" will examine the use and application of "real-world" based assessment methods for healthcare intervention delivery and the measurement of outcomes of healthcare interventions. During this 21/2 day conference, researchers on ambulatory assessment from different disciplines will present their work and engage in an exchange of ideas during discussions that follow formal presentations and in separate break-out sessions. A summary of speaker presentations will be compiled into a manuscript to provide a foundation of knowledge on ambulatory assessment methods to promote its use in rehabilitation research.
