Dissemination and Implementation in Embedded Pragmatic Trials: Getting the Timing Right in Real-World Research
Date and Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA
Cost: $275
Program Description:
This workshop will introduce concepts in the design, conduct, and implementation of pragmatic clinical trials embedded in healthcare systems, with a focus on methods relevant to health services researchers. Embedded pragmatic trials are randomized trials conducted within healthcare systems and that use streamlined procedures and existing infrastructure to answer important questions for patients, clinicians, and healthcare system leaders. These trials can inform policy and practice with broadly generalizable, high-quality evidence at lower cost and with greater efficiency than traditional clinical trials. Optimal timing of decisions about intervention adoption and sustainment (or deimplementation) are key to their success. The workshop will introduce the investigative opportunities for embedded pragmatic trials, including strategies for integrating implementation research methods into the design and conduct of pragmatic trials, with the goal of generating real-world evidence to inform practice and policy in diverse systems and populations. The workshop will highlight dissemination and implementation challenges investigators face when conducting pragmatic trials in large, complex healthcare systems and will share lessons from implementation science for maximizing the ability of pragmatic trials to improve the health of individuals and communities. Firsthand experiences and case studies from the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory will illustrate the topics presented. The workshop will include discussion with panelists and hands-on exercises that apply knowledge from the workshop.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify areas of synergy between embedded pragmatic clinical trials and implementation research.
- Introduce participants to the unique characteristics and challenges of designing, conducting, and implementing pragmatic clinical trials embedded in diverse healthcare systems, and describe opportunities for integrating implementation research methods into these trials.
- Increase the capacity of health services researchers to address important clinical questions with embedded pragmatic clinical trials and share lessons from implementation science for supporting intervention adoption, sustainment, scale-up, and/or deimplementation.
Speakers:
- Senior Investigators from the NIH Collaboratory Coordinating Center
- Senior investigators from the NIH Collaboratory Trials
- Senior NIH staff
Intervention Optimization for Implementation Scientists
Date and Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA
Cost: $75
This workshop will introduce the Multiphase Optimization STrategy (MOST) framework and discuss how it can be used to design and optimize multi-component implementation strategies, or bundles of multiple implementation strategies. After the workshop, participants will be able to 1) describe the three phases of the MOST framework and how they are applied in the development and testing of implementation strategies; 2) develop a conceptual model that identifies the relationship between implementation strategies, mediators, and outcomes in a factorial trial; and 3) plan experimental conditions for a trial to evaluate implementation strategies and design an optimized multiple-strategy package.
Optimizing the Pace of Implementation Strategy Planning: Going Fast and Slow with the Implementation Mapping Logic Model
Date and Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA
Cost: $75
This workshop provides fundamental implementation science knowledge and practical skills to apply Implementation Mapping (IM) and the Implementation Mapping (IMap) Logic Model in designing, selecting, and tailoring implementation strategies, with a focus on the pace of implementation strategy design and mechanisms of action. Led by experts, attendees will engage in interactive sessions featuring theoretical foundations, real-life case studies, and hands-on activities. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the IMap Logic Model and the skills to apply it in their implementation research and practice.
Pragmatic Healthcare Ethnography in Implementation Science: Designing for Impact
Date and Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA
Cost: $75
Pragmatic healthcare ethnography provides a valuable set of tools for implementation. Led by experts in ethnography and implementation, workshop participants will learn about study design, methods, analysis, and dissemination. Ethnographic themes of power, reflexivity, insider perspectives, and participatory and multi-partner work will be discussed throughout. Through didactic and interactive discussions, participants will learn how to design an ethnographic study, and will be provided with accessible tools and resources including rubrics for design and analysis, worksheets, and materials for additional reading.
Tech Companies Do It...Why Can’t We? Applying Rapid, Randomized A/B Testing to Healthcare Improvement
Date and Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA
Cost: $75
The Rapid RCT Lab at NYU has leveraged a unique methodology to run over 25 rapid, randomized interventions within our health system to improve care delivery; tests are quick (weeks to a few months), robust (randomized), and minimally burdensome to frontline staff. This workshop will be a practical, interactive introduction to running rapid randomized tests in your healthcare system and will provide a collaborative environment for participants to share and develop ideas. You will leave this workshop knowledgeable of this exciting methodology and have concrete intervention plans and action items to improve your healthcare organization.
User-Centered Design for Implementation: Human Factors Engineering Insights
Date and Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA
Cost: $75
Implementors are designers. We design and redesign interventions, implementation strategies, and even elements of the implementation context to maximize fit between the evidence base and the local needs of users in context. Proven design methodologies can help us create more implementable and sustainable interventions. This workshop will equip implementation scientists and practitioners with user-centered design skills to proactively maximize outcomes. Building on the foundations of Human Factors Engineering and Implementation Science, participants will complete systematic needs assessments and iterative design processes focused on implementation applications. This collaborative workshop introduces established theories and methods with multiple case examples.
