The workshop had its roots in an earlier forum meeting when forum members discussed what is meant by the terms \"quality improvement\" and \"implementation science\" and became convinced that they mean different things to different people. At the time, the members also discussed the need to identify barriers to quality improvement research and to implementation science. Thus the purpose of this workshop was to bring people together from various arenas to discuss what quality improvement is, and what barriers exist in the health care industry to quality improvement and also to research about quality improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The summary that ensues is thus limited to the presentations and discussions during the workshop itself. We realize that there is a broader scope of issues pertaining to this subject area but are unable to address them in this summary document.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The workshop's first session was devoted to experiences that various institutions have had with quality improvement. Recognizing the wealth of experiences available outside of health care services, the workshop included presenters from outside the health care service industry as well as from inside. This includes discussions from a variety of perspectives: non-health care services, health plans, hospitals, and nursing. \u003cem\u003eAdvancing Quality Improvement Research: Challenges and opportunities - Workshop \u003c\/em\u003eSummary describes the events of the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Care Services,Forum on the Science of Health Care Qual\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309106230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309106238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448791511295,"sku":"9780309106238","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a5b477e-842b-48dd-9da4-8b24db2b846d.jpg?v=1777260570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advancing-quality-improvement-research-institute-of-medicine-9780309106238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
