Description
An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop that will feature invited presentations and discussion about the spread, scale, and sustainability of practices, models, and interventions for improving health in a variety of interorganizational and geographical contexts. Specific topics to be explored may include lessons learned and best practices from several programs that have been successfully grown, disseminated, and adapted to other settings or communities; the role of innovation, culture, and context on diffusing programs and ideas or achieving desired outcomes; and methods for evaluating the impact of these efforts on population health. The committee will define the specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. An individually-authored summary of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
An individually-authored brief workshop summary will also be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
