Complete materials are now available from the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory’s recent workshop, “Dissemination and Implementation in Embedded Pragmatic Trials: Science-Powered Strategies to Sustain and Spread Effective Interventions.”
The full-day workshop, held on December 14 at AcademyHealth’s 18th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health, introduced concepts in the design, conduct, and implementation of pragmatic clinical trials embedded in healthcare systems, with a focus on methods relevant to health services researchers. Presenters shared firsthand experiences and case studies from the NIH Collaboratory Trials. The learning objectives of the workshop included:
- To identify areas of synergy between embedded pragmatic clinical trials and implementation research
- To introduce participants to the unique characteristics and challenges of designing, conducting, and implementing pragmatic clinical trials embedded in diverse healthcare systems, and describe opportunities for integrating implementation research methods into these trials
- To increase the capacity of health services researchers to address important clinical questions with embedded pragmatic clinical trials, and share lessons from implementation science for supporting intervention adoption, sustainment, scale-up, and/or deimplementation
