The current issue of The Ochsner Journal includes the abstracts presented at Ochsner's systemwide Tenth Annual Research Day that was held on May 14, 2013. In addition to serving as a platform for sharing the outcomes of outstanding cutting-edge research, Research Day also serves as an occasion to develop new collaborations and to create true interprofessional research teams that mimic the delivery of clinical care at Ochsner.

The theme of Research Day this year was Quality and Safety. A total of 101 abstracts spanning various disciplines were submitted, of which 69 were accepted for poster presentation. The majority of the abstracts represented the outcomes of studies in translational, clinical, and health service research.

Many first-in-practice events occurred on this Research Day. In addition to offering a full day of academic activities, the 2013 event was the first time that medical students, nurses, pharmacists, residents, fellows, and physicians delivered oral presentations of selected abstracts. The oral presentations were well attended and stimulated much valuable discussion. Additionally, unlike in the past, the posters were judged by a selection committee on the basis of their scientific value and their impact on the delivery of quality clinical care to our patients. A list of presenters and winners and the titles of their presentations is provided at the end of this introduction.

On behalf of the Ochsner Health System and The Ochsner Journal Editorial Board, we would like to congratulate all those who participated in making this day an intellectually stimulating event and to thank them for their unmitigated commitment to inculcating innovation and discovery in education, training, and the delivery of clinical care to our patients. We look forward to continued engagement in our collective efforts to enhance the quality and capacity of research at Ochsner.

Ochsner's Eleventh Annual Research Day will be on May 20, 2014. Mark your calendars for this big event!
