Risk Informed Intervention Development and Implementation of Safe Practices in Ambulatory Care (R18): -This FOA is a limited competition. Only those institutions who are already currently receiving AHRQ funding under RFA-HS-07-003, Ambulatory Care Patient Safety Proactive Risk Assessment (see http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-07-003.html) projects, and those who have demonstrated the skills, abilities and capacity to comply with the requirements of the current FOA, are eligible to apply. This FOA builds upon the risk assessments already developed or being developed under RFA-HS-07-003, therefore only institutions currently receiving funding under HS-07-003 are eligible to apply for the current FOA. -The purpose of this FOA is to support risk informed development and implementation of safe practice interventions that have the potential of eliminating or reducing medical errors, risks, hazards, and harms associated with the process of care in the ambulatory setting. The objectives of these demonstration and dissemination projects are to: (1) identify, develop, test, and implement safe practice interventions in ambulatory care settings; and (2) share the findings and lessons learned about the challenges and barriers to developing and implementing these interventions through toolkits. These safe practice interventions will be informed by the previously conducted proactive risk assessments projects supported by AHRQ. The interventions and resulting implementation toolkits shall be made publicly available to be adapted to and/or adopted by other healthcare organizations. These projects will inform AHRQ, providers, patients, payers, policy makers, and the public about how safe practice interventions can be successfully implemented in ambulatory care settings and lead to safer and better health care for all Americans. Characteristics of these applications include:
