Implementation researchers, practitioners, and funders considered how to better support equitable implementation and outcomes. They make five recommendations from changing how we talk about implementation science to how we execute it and who we engage along the way.
COVID-19 forced virtual implementation strategies into the spotlight. In this blog post, as part of our series highlighting takeaways from the 13th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health, we explore opportunities and challenges of remote implementation facilitation and share best practices for effective engagement during and after the pandemic.
The special supplement highlights how to optimally disseminate evidence related to health and health care, how to implement interventions to improve care across settings, and how to improve the health of the global population.
In order for health interventions to be effective, stakeholders must understand the deeply rooted systemic problems responsible for bottlenecks and miscommunications. The final blog in our series on implementation science examines how the study of participatory system dynamics can give implementation teams more insight into the root causes of health system pain points.
After two years of virtual conferences, we look forward to welcoming attendees back to Washington, D.C., for the 15th anniversary Science of D&I Conference, happening December 11-14, 2022.
User-centered design helps make health interventions more engaging and effective for both patient participants and health care staff. How can implementation teams leverage user-centered design to achieve better outcomes?
Understanding the economic impact of health interventions is critical for developing effective programs that can be replicated in different settings. At the 13th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health, experts shared their top tips about evaluating the economics of a new or existing initiative.
The first in a series highlighting key takeaways from the 13th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health, this post describes best practices for planning, documenting, and evaluating adaptations within complex interventions.
Using COVID-19 vaccine distribution as an example, AcademyHealth members illustrate the need for a health equity framework to help avoid the perpetuation of disparities already embedded in our systems and processes, or create new ones.
AcademyHealth member Sarah Shoemaker-Hunt outlines the growing body of research on opioid interventions and points to an opportunity for more work describing the strategies used and what makes them successful.
