2017 STUDENT SPECIAL ISSUE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Frontiers in Public Health Services & Systems Research announces its first special student issue to be published in spring 2017. A peer-reviewed electronic journal, Frontiers features
articles that present findings from an ongoing or recently completed
empirical study or quality improvement project. Paper topics appropriate
for Frontiers answer research questions about the
organization, financing, and/or delivery of public health services; the
structure, operation, and/or management of public health delivery
systems; the application of quality improvement methods in public health
settings; and/or the impact of these endeavors on population health.
Findings should have the potential to guide future public health
practice, health policy, and/or research.
The student special issue will be a peer-reviewed collection of
manuscripts with student first authors and will be published in Spring
2017.
The manuscript selected as the most outstanding by the editorial
board will be the lead article of the issue and awarded the 2017
Frontiers in Public Health Services & Systems Research Top Student
Paper.

AHRQ Research Summit on Improving Diagnosis in Health Care
Additional Information:
http://www.ahrq.gov/news/events/ahrq-research-summit-diagnostic-safety.html?utm_source=AHRQ&utm_medium=EN-1&utm_term=&utm_content=1&utm_campaign=AHRQ_EN8_9_2016
Description:
Date: September 28, 2016, 8:30am – 5:00pm
Location:
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
5600 Fishers Lane
Rockville, MD 20857
Most patients will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, according to the AHRQ-sponsored report, Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, published by the National Academies of Medicine in September 2015. These errors occur in all settings of care, contribute to about 10 percent of patient deaths, and are the primary reason for medical liability claims. Substantial effort is needed to identify research priorities, including how to measure and reduce diagnostic errors, and ensure this information is integrated into practice, where it will translate meaningful benefits for patients. This interactive meeting will explore the state of the science of diagnosis in health care and discuss ways AHRQ and other stakeholders can contribute to a collaborative approach to improving diagnostic performance, as well as identify the research and evidence, tools and training, and data and measures that are needed to improve diagnostic performance.

Description:
This Care Affordability chartbook is part of a family of documents and tools that support the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report (QDR). The QDR includes annual reports to Congress mandated in the Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-129). This chartbook includes a summary of quality and disparities across measures of care affordability from the QDR and figures illustrating select measures of care affordability. A PowerPoint version is also available that users can download for presentations.
