This 90-minute webinar will feature two EvidenceNOW grantees sharing their experience implementing nonsurgical interventions for urinary incontinence (UI) within primary care settings. The session will explore key components of implementation, such as provider education, feedback loops, and the integration of care pathways into clinic workflows. Attendees will gain insights from front-line implementers on the benefits and challenges of these interventions, as well as strategies to address limited external incentives. Publicly available resources and tools developed by the MUI grantees will be shared for adoption and adaptation by other practices. Through this initiative, AHRQ aims to bridge the gap between evidence and practice in women’s UI care.
