Proceedings from the 11th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation

Excerpt

In December 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth co-hosted the 11^th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) in Health, “Scaling up Effective Health and Healthcare: Advancing the Research Agenda and Necessary Infrastructure.” Reflecting increased interest in the field and growth in our research community, we had record attendance with nearly 1,300 researchers, practitioners and policymakers convening in Washington, DC, including a large number of attendees who had not previously taken part in the conference series. This eleventh iteration of the conference balanced its three-day research agenda among concurrent paper sessions, hundreds of posters, a keynote speaker and three plenary panels, all touching upon the conference theme of scaling up effective health and healthcare as well as building capacity and the necessary infrastructure in the field. This supplement contains the abstracts from the concurrent sessions, reflecting the variety of dissemination and implementation research supported and disseminated by our conference sponsors, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), AcademyHealth, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Although not included in this supplement, an additional 405 papers were presented in poster format and can be viewed at https://​academyhealth.​confex.​com/​academyhealth/​2018di/​meetingapp.​cgi/​ModulePosterSess​ions/​0. …
