In April 2022, the Health Care Systems Research Network (HCSRN) - a consortium of 20 research institutions affiliated with large health systems spread across the United States (and one in Israel) - held its 28th annual conference in Pasadena, California, with 275 researchers, health care colleagues, and external academic partners in attendance. With a conference theme of "Promoting Collaboration and Partnerships to Advance Health Equity," the scientific program was assembled by a multisite planning committee with input from representatives of informal local host Kaiser Permanente Southern California. Objectives of the annual conference are to showcase scientific findings from HCSRN projects and to spur collaboration on research initiatives that improve health and health care for individuals and populations. To those ends, the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory sponsored a preconference workshop on the essentials of embedded pragmatic clinical trials, and more than a dozen scientific interest groups and active research project teams held ancillary sessions throughout the conference. This welcome opportunity for network members to meet in-person followed a 2-year hiatus necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, during which HCSRN conference proceedings were conducted through virtual and written communication platforms.
2022年4月，医疗保健系统研究网络（HCSRN）——一个由隶属于美国各地大型医疗系统的20个研究机构（以及以色列的一个机构）组成的联盟——在加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳市举行了第28届年会，275名研究人员、医疗保健同行和外部学术伙伴出席了会议。会议主题为“促进合作与伙伴关系以推进健康公平”，科学项目由一个多地点规划委员会组织，并得到了当地非正式主办方南加州凯撒医疗集团代表的意见。年会的目标是展示HCSRN项目的科学发现，并推动在改善个人和人群健康及医疗保健的研究倡议方面开展合作。为此，美国国立卫生研究院实用试验协作实验室主办了一次关于嵌入式实用临床试验要点的会前研讨会，十几个科学兴趣小组和活跃的研究项目团队在会议期间举办了辅助会议。在因新冠疫情而中断了两年之后，这次网络成员亲自见面的机会十分难得，在此期间，HCSRN会议议程通过虚拟和书面交流平台进行。
