Update On Public Health Financing & Economic Studies From The Phssr And Pbrn Programs, Glen P. Mays
Update On Public Health Financing & Economic Studies From The Phssr And Pbrn Programs, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
As part of the Public Health Financing Roundtable at APHA, this session provides an update on public health financing and economics studies underway through the Public Health Services and Systems Research (PHSSR) Program and the Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) Program, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Strengthening The Evidence Base For Accreditation: Progress In Phssr And Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Strengthening The Evidence Base For Accreditation: Progress In Phssr And Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
With the launch of a voluntary national accreditation program for public health agencies, the field requires an expanding evidence base concerning which public health strategies work best, for which populations, and under what circumstances. The field of public health services and systems research (PHSSR) and practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are producing applied studies that can inform the future development and implementation of accreditation standards, and evaluate the impact of accreditation on the field of practice.
Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks: Creating Evidence For Practice, Glen P. Mays
Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks: Creating Evidence For Practice, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Powerful opportunities for learning from variation and change in public health delivery now exists across the U.S. health system. Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) provide the vehicles for harvesting evidence from applied, comparative studies -- and for feeding this information back into the delivery system.
The Public Health Pbrn Program: Building The Science Of Public Health Delivery, Glen P. Mays, Anna Goodman Hoover
The Public Health Pbrn Program: Building The Science Of Public Health Delivery, Glen P. Mays, Anna Goodman Hoover
Health Management and Policy Presentations
This session describes public health practice-based research networks (PBRNs) and emerging opportunities for collaboration with injury control research centers to advance the science of injury prevention practice.
Driving Qi With Research: Findings From Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Driving Qi With Research: Findings From Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Public health agencies are increasingly experimenting with quality improvement (QI) strategies designed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of their efforts. Does QI work in public health, and if so for whom and under what circumstances? What QI strategies work best for which types of public health process failures, and at what cost? Research underway through the Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) Program is examining these types of questions to build an evidence base for public health QI.
Disparities Research In Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Disparities Research In Public Health Pbrns, Glen P. Mays
Health Management and Policy Presentations
Public health agencies are well positioned within the health system to play key roles in addressing oral health issues on a population-wide basis, However, current evidence reveals wide geographic variation in the delivery of public health interventions for oral health promotion. This session explores the factors contributing to this variation, and it highlights studies underway through the Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) to produce more and better evidence about public health delivery and impact.
Opportunities For Comparative Research In Public Health Pbrns : A Baseline Analysis Of Local Practice Settings, Glen P. Mays, Sharla A. Smith, Elaine B. Wootten, Sylvia J. Porchia
Opportunities For Comparative Research In Public Health Pbrns : A Baseline Analysis Of Local Practice Settings, Glen P. Mays, Sharla A. Smith, Elaine B. Wootten, Sylvia J. Porchia
Health Management and Policy Presentations
This analysis describes the organizational and operational characteristics of local public health agencies participating in an initial cohort of five (5) public health PBRNs in the U.S. We examine variation in practice settings within and between PBRNs; compare practice settings to state and national norms; and identify opportunities for comparative research that can be conducted through PBRNs.
