Academic Session: Strategies for improving academic science
Abstract
Session presented on Saturday, April 13, 2013:
Quality improvement and patient safety are high priorities yet insufficient progress has been made in improvement science. Improvement projects are often focused at the microsystem level, precluding sufficient data for rigorous and generalizable conclusions. Furthermore, advancements in the field are hampered by the lack of a national research agenda with clearly defined priorities to systematically build knowledge. The NIH-funded Improvement Science research Network (ISRN) is a national network for improvement and translational science. Early work of this developing network was to establish a national research agenda in improvement science.
