7th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation:
Transforming Health Systems to Optimize Individual and Population Health
December 8-9, 2014 | Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center

Registration is now open for the 7th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation.

The transformation of health care and public health toward a system that optimizes individual and population health is well under way, with significant expenditures at risk. As policymakers, employers, providers and patients respond to new demands to show that health care delivery and public health systems can reliably deliver evidence-based and patient-centered services, many are eager to learn what works, for whom, in what contexts, and at what cost.

A forum for bringing new developments in the science of dissemination and implementation, the 7th annual conference aims to engage researchers and experts by bridging the gap between evidence, practice, and policy in healthcare and public health.

The 2014 agenda includes a dynamic program with panel, oral, and plenary presentations, a keynote address, and two poster sessions, all complemented by peer-reviewed abstracts. The meeting theme, “Transforming Health Systems to Optimize Individual and Population Health??? reflects the capacity of evidence-based practices in service delivery to influence healthcare and population health.

Researchers, evaluators, implementers, and other key practice stakeholders who are interested in identifying opportunities, challenges, and strategies for accelerating the implementation of research findings are encouraged to attend.
