DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A unique multidisciplinary team from Harvard University and other institutions will employ a public health systems research approach to generate valid and reliable criteria and metrics to assess, and ultimately improve, public health emergency preparedness (PHEP) in the United States. Despite the national investment of billions of dollars in PHEP training since 9/11, the IOM recently noted that the country lacks" validated criteria and metrics that enable public health systems to achieve continuous improvement and to demonstrate the value of society's investment." To address this need, we propose LAMPS (Linking Assessment and Measurement to Performance in PHEP Systems), a new center that will pursue a coordinated and integrated four-step approach to the development of PHEP criteria and metrics through four projects. These projects are framed by a measurement development cycle that addresses four key questions: (1) why measure - clarify the purposes and uses of the measurement effort; (2) what to measure -- identify the domains and criteria to be measured; (3) how to measure - develop specific metrics for each concept; and (4) how well do the metrics work -- assess the validity, reliability, utility, and practicality of the measures developed. Project 1, Linking Assessment and Measurement to PHEP Systems Improvement ("PHEP Systems Improvement") focuses initially on the first step of the Cycle, i.e., why measure- to clarify the purposes and uses of the measurement effort related to guide PHEP systems improvement efforts using the innovative work of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Project 2, Linking Assessment and Measurement to PHEP through Engineering Systems Analysis ("Engineering Systems Analysis") will focus on the second step of the Cycle, i.e., identifying what to measure with respect to preparedness domains and criteria non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for pandemic influenza. Project 3 Linking Assessment and Measurement to Performance in PHEP Communications ("PHEP Communications") addresses how to measure metrics for domains relevant to exposure, processing and attention to information pertaining to PHEP communications, and the intended outcomes. Project 4 Linking Assessment and Measurement to Performance in PHEP Drills and Exercises ("Drills and Exercises") will start at the fourth step of the Cycle by examining how well metrics related to drills and exercise perform with respect to their validity and reliability. Through these projects and a Core training initiative, LAMPS will illuminate science and public health practice for the future.

描述（由申请人提供）：来自哈佛大学和其他机构的独特多学科团队将采用公共卫生系统研究方法来生成美国的有效和可靠的标准和指标，以评估并最终改善美国的公共卫生应急准备（PHEP）。尽管自9/11以来，尽管全国投资了数十亿美元的PHEP培训，但IOM最近指出，该国缺乏“经过验证的标准和指标，使公共卫生系统能够实现持续改进并证明社会投资的价值。”为了满足这一需求，我们提出了灯（将评估和测量与PHEP系统中的性能联系起来），该中心将采用协调和集成的四步方法，以通过四个项目的开发PHEP标准和指标。这些项目是由一个测量开发周期构建的，该周期解决了四个关键问题：（1）为什么衡量 - 阐明测量工作的目的和用途； （2）测量什么 - 确定要测量的域和标准； （3）如何衡量 - 为每个概念开发特定指标； （4）指标的工作状况如何 - 评估开发措施的有效性，可靠性，实用性和实用性。项目1，将评估和测量与PHEP系统改进联系起来（“ PHEP系统改进”）最初着重于周期的第一步，即，为什么要阐明与指导PHEP系统改进工作相关的测量工作的目的和用途，使用研究所改善研究所的创新工作（IHI）。项目2，通过工程系统分析（“工程系统分析”）将评估和测量与PHEP联系起来，将重点放在周期的第二步上，即确定有关备量域和标准非药物干预措施（NPI）的测量方法。项目3将评估和测量与PHEP通信（“ PHEP沟通”）的绩效联系起来，解决了如何衡量与曝光，处理和关注与PHEP通信有关的信息有关的域指标，以及预期的结果。项目4将评估和测量与PHEP演练和练习（“练习和练习”）的性能联系起来，将在周期的第四步中开始，通过研究与练习和锻炼相关的指标在其有效性和可靠性方面的性能。通过这些项目和核心培训计划，LAMPS将为未来阐明科学和公共卫生实践。
