All topics related to health care quality and value are welcome, but this year’s specific themes will include:

  • Using innovations in health care delivery research to inform practice change
  • Patient/consumer/stakeholder engagement in quality-related research
  • Patient/consumer use of quality information to make healthcare decisions
  • Value frameworks and their impact on medical decision-making and access to new technology
  • Value based purchasing and other value-based care payment and delivery models
  • New models for, and implementation of, patient safety and quality improvement
  • Innovations and advancements in quality measurement

  • Importance of the topic for advancing Quality and Value research;
  • Appropriateness of techniques and methods;
  • Quality and originality; 
  • Policy and practice implications; and 
  • Clarity of writing and presentation.

ARM Call for Abstracts:
AcademyHealth believes the audience for work submitted to an IG is different from the audience at the main meeting, therefore welcomes you to submit your abstract to both calls. However, IG review committees will factor acceptance to the main ARM into their deliberations. An abstract that is accepted for podium presentation in the main ARM will not be permitted to have a podium presentation at an IG meeting but can be considered for an IG poster. Submissions to interest groups must be submitted separately to the specific IG. The deadline for submission to ARM is January 12, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. E.T.
