This document discusses outcomes research, which seeks to understand the end results of healthcare practices and interventions. It describes two agencies, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, that focus on outcomes research and fund studies to increase healthcare effectiveness. Both agencies emphasize measures like quality of life and patient preferences. The document also discusses positive and negative impacts of outcomes research, how it assesses elements of health important to patients, and how researchers have developed ways to broadly measure health status.
Clinical trials are necessary for medical research. Producing new medicines to the market depends on the strength of research organizations and drug companies to test and verify their work vigorously through their Clinical Trials, but finding people willing to participate is notoriously tricky.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Navigating Challenges: Mental Health, Legislation, and the Prison System in B...Guillermo Rivera
This conference will delve into the intricate intersections between mental health, legal frameworks, and the prison system in Bolivia. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by mental health professionals working within the legislative and correctional landscapes. Topics of discussion will include the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among the incarcerated population, the effectiveness of existing mental health policies and legislation, and potential reforms to enhance the mental health support system within prisons.

From navigating policy options to staying informed about industry trends, this comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about the health insurance market.
2. Introduction
What is Research Outcomes?
Outcomes research seeks to understand the end results of particular health
care practices and interventions
Outcomes research has altered the culture of clinical practice and health
care research by changing how we assess the end results of health care
services.
In doing so, it has provided the foundation for measuring the quality of
care
3. Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ)
The AHRQ helps to produce evidence to make health care
safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and
affordable
Works to make sure that the evidence is understood and
used.
4. Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
Institute
CORI funds studies that determine which healthcare options
work best for which patients, given their needs, circumstances,
and preferences.
Helps patients and those who care for them to make better-
informed health and healthcare decisions.
5. What they have in common?
Both agencies focus its attention on the affected individual with
measures such as quality of life and preferences
Both of them promote and/or funding studies that help to increase
effectiveness of health-care delivery
6. Outcomes research with positive impact for patients
and healthcare professionals.
Studies of the variations in medical practice patterns. Effectiveness
research that assesses which treatments for specific clinical
problems work best for whom.
Appropriateness studies that determine the circumstances in which
a procedure should and should not be performed.
Research that develops tools to identify patient preferences when
treatment options are available.
Research that creates methods to measure changes in health status
and patient satisfaction with the health care process.
7. Negative impact for patients and healthcare professionals
While Outcomes research evaluates the results of the health care
process in the real-life world of the doctor’s office, hospital,
health clinic and even the home, traditional randomized
controlled studies, are costly and must be done in controlled
environments.
Traditionally, studies measure health outcomes, in terms of
physiological measurements through laboratory test results,
complication rates or death.
These measures alone do not adequately capture health status. A
patient’s functional status, well-being, and satisfaction with care
must compliment the traditional measures.
8. Importance of Outcome Research
It is used as health status measures to assess end results on overall health and
quality of life, in contrast to such outcomes as death, infection rates or hospital
readmission rates.
Outcomes research emphasizes many more “common” elements of health that
are important to patients and their families.
Outcomes research has also added a new dimension to the treatment process by
developing ways to assess patients’ preferences for alternative treatment
options.
Outcomes research is developing communication tools, such as interactive
videos, that allow patients to understand the treatment options available and
the benefits and risks of each.
One particular challenge has been to develop health status measures for
children, since the importance and nature of their preferences is poorly
understood.
9. Conclusions
Outcomes researchers have successfully
developed ways to measure health status
broadly to capture not only a patient’s physical
health, but also the quality of life and ability to
function in the real world
