Session presented on: Tuesday, November 19, 2013:
Healthcare experts, administrators, researchers, and clinicians across multiple disciplines are developing and testing new strategies to improve the safety and quality of patient care; however, national capacity to study improvement falls well behind the need to discover 'what works'. The study of complex healthcare service delivery and microsystems requires new skills in research methods, new partnerships across academic and clinical traditions, and multi-site research approaches to account for scale-up and spread of tested strategies. This symposium explores nurse-led nationally-funded achievements toward national advancing improvement science. The underlying foundations of the design of the new virtual improvement research network are described, including national consensus on research priorities in the field, the demonstration study that was conducted, the support for interprofessional investigational teams, and the regulatory challenges (IRB) of quality improvement research.
