Key Efficiency Issues:
- Managing fidelity and supervision for multiple EBPs in one setting
- Models/methods for reducing staff turnover
- Training efficiency: How low can you go? Or how can you do it differently to keep the bar high?
- Looking beyond training – feasible models and methods that implement and sustain EBPs for the long term
- Community-led evaluations (engaging stakeholders to reduce burden and increase relevance)
- Matching models of implementation to system needs and capacities
Using Available and Affordable Tools
- Use of electronic health records, administrative data, progress monitoring, or other existing program resources to promote evaluation
- (Continuous) Quality Improvement or examples of iterative small scale trials of change
- Use of decision support tools
- Use of computer-based/online implementation methodologies
- Technological solutions: Machine learning, textual analysis, strategies for managing big data
Research Design and Statistical Solutions:
- Adaptive and SMART designs
- Analysis of qualitative data
- Hybrid designs (effectiveness-implementation hybrids)
- Methods that can rapidly inform health care practice
The 3rd Biennial conference was held in September 2015. Videos and slides of the conference content are forthcoming.
