To provide a framework for a research agenda-setting conference on quality of care for children.
DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING: Literature review.
Research on quality of care for children has lagged behind its counterpart for adults. Defining key issues and questions in seven topic areas-the health of children; the efficacy and effectiveness of health services for children; assessing quality of care; improving quality of care within health services delivery systems; assessing and improving quality at the community level; getting financial incentives right; and disseminating information about the results of research investigations-will facilitate the development of an effective research strategy. Ultimately, enhanced information in these areas will lead to improvements in the processes and outcomes of care for children.
为儿童护理质量研究议程设定会议提供一个框架。
数据来源/研究背景:文献综述。
儿童护理质量研究落后于成人护理质量研究。明确七个主题领域的关键问题——儿童健康;儿童保健服务的疗效和有效性;护理质量评估;在医疗服务提供系统内提高护理质量;社区层面的质量评估与改进;合理设置经济激励措施;以及传播研究调查结果的信息——将有助于制定有效的研究策略。最终,这些领域信息的增强将带来儿童护理过程和结果的改善。
