Beyond Regionalization: Integrated Networks of Emergency Care

描述(由申请人提供)：2007年，医学研究所(IOM)美国卫生系统紧急护理未来委员会发布了三卷描述他们的发现。国际移民组织描述了一个捉襟见肘的系统，无法适当地回应施加在它身上的要求。国际移民组织认识到美国紧急护理系统的不稳定状态，建议在全国范围内发展“地区化、协调和负责任的紧急护理系统”。根据这份报告，急诊医学界确定了国际移民组织报告中的优先项目，现在寻求解决紧急护理系统的组织问题。这次会议的题目是“超越区域化：急救综合网络”，它将制定一个研究议程，以跟上急救服务创新的发展步伐。这次会议将于2010年6月2日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行，之后将举行学术急诊医学学会的年度会议。由学术期刊《急诊医学》主办的共识会议在急诊医学界得到广泛认可，以围绕急救护理中的一个重要问题组织学术界。学术急救医学期刊全文将专门讨论会议主题，并将发表会议论文集和同行评议的相关研究手稿。 与公共卫生相关：这场题为“超越区域化：急救综合网络”的会议由学术急诊医学杂志赞助，将制定一个研究议程，以支持医学研究所关于区域化、协调和负责任的急救系统的愿景。通过研究发展中的紧急护理提供创新，紧急护理研究人员将帮助形成更有效率和更有效的紧急护理系统。鉴于所有美国人在面临时间敏感型疾病时都依赖紧急护理，我们相信这次会议的目标与公众的健康直接相关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In 2007, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Committee on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System released three volumes describing their findings. The IOM described a system that is stretched thin and unable to appropriately respond to the demands placed upon it. Recognizing the precarious state of the emergency care system in the US, the IOM recommended the development of "regionalized, coordinated, and accountable emergency care systems throughout the country". Based on this report, the emergency medicine community identified priority items within the IOM report and now seeks to address the organization of the emergency care system. The conference described here titled "Beyond Regionalization: Integrated Networks of Emergency Care" will develop a research agenda to keep pace with the development of innovations in emergency care delivery. The conference will be held on June 2, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona preceding the annual conference of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. Consensus Conferences sponsored by the journal Academic Emergency Medicine are well recognized within the emergency medicine community to organize the academic community around an issue of importance within emergency care. A full journal issue of Academic Emergency Medicine will be devoted to the conference topic and will publish both conference proceedings and peer-reviewed topically relevant research manuscripts. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This conference titled "Beyond Regionalization: Integrated Networks of Emergency Care", sponsored by the journal Academic Emergency Medicine will develop a research agenda to support the Institute of Medicine's vision of regionalized, coordinated, and accountable emergency care systems. By examining emergency care delivery innovations as they develop, emergency care researchers will help to shape more efficient and effective emergency care systems. Given the reliance of all Americans on emergency care when faced with time-sensitive illness, we believe the goals of this conference have direct relevance to the health of the public.
