Taking Best Practices to Scale:Spreading Effective Healthcare
Practices & Programs
1
ObjectivesAchieving large-scale implementation requires a new set of research, policy, and practice efforts to understand and address these challenges and facilitate scale-up and spread. This session will (1) describe a series of activities, including a state-of-the-art conference held in July, that the presenters launched to stimulate greater interest and activity in scale-up and spread and (2) engage session attendees in generating ideas for additional activities needed to accelerate scale-up and spread of effective health programs throughout the United States and abroad.

Introduction & Initial Activities
4
Definition of Scale-up/Spread
“Deliberate efforts to increase the impact of health serviceinnovations successfully tested in pilot or experimentalprojects so as to benefit more people and to foster policyand program development on a lasting basis”
--Simmons, Fajans, Ghiron, 2007
5
Why Scale-up/Spread Now? Portfolio of Effective Health Innovations
Demonstrated efficacy and/or effectiveness Variety of settings, populations, and behaviors Guidelines, initiatives, simple and complex behavioral
interventions, etc.
Examples AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange National Registry of Evidence-based Programs & Practices Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T. National Guideline Clearinghouse
6
Why Scale-up/Spread Now?Effective D/I Strategies
Increasing emphasis on D/I research
Increasing identification of effective or promising D/I strategies
Examples Technical Assistance (Hamdallah et al., 2006)
Organizational change models (Glisson & Schoenwald, 2005)
Models, theories, and frameworks (see Glasgow et al., 1999; Wandersman et al., 2008)
Reviews (see Bero et al., 1998; Grimshaw et al., 2006; Grol & Grimshaw, 2003)
7
Why Scale-up/Spread Now? Need to Plan Ahead
Scale-up rarely happens automatically Scaling-up requires significant preparation and planning
Human and financial resources Political and policy support Community, organization, and agency collaboration
and buy-in State, regional, and/or national coordination
Issues faced during small-scale studies or pilots are different—and typically less complex—than those faced in large-scale trials or initiatives
8
Increasing Focus on Scale-up/Spread Research
Cluster RCTs and PCTs Embedded research, mixed methods Frameworks, lessons learned, reviews
Case Studies Scaling up health service delivery: from pilot innovations to policies
and programs (Simmons, Fajans, & Ghiron, 2007) Best Practices in Scaling-up (JSI, 2006) Case Studies in Global Health: Millions Saved (Levine, 2007)

Initial Scale-up/Spread Activities Think tank, NIH D&I Conference, January 2009
Presentations from NIH, Kaiser Permanente, AHRQ, RWJF, VA, CDC, and UCONN and discussion with session attendees
Working dinner meeting, January 2009 30 stakeholder representatives from AHRQ, Commonwealth
Fund, CMS, HRSA, IHI, NIH, Harvard, RWJF, John A. Hartford Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, SAMHSA, VA, and the Universities of Michigan, Connecticut, Washington (St. Louis and Seattle)
What action is needed by key stakeholder groups to facilitate scale-up/spread?
Preliminary recommendations for promoting scale-up/spread
10
Initial Scale-up/Spread Activities Health Funders Bending the Curve: Accelerating the Journey
from Evidence to Adoption, Donaghue Foundation & RWJF, June 2009
Discuss opportunities and challenges with adoption of research findings so funds can have greatest impact
Attendees included AHRQ, CA HealthCare Foundation, Commonwealth Fund, Grantmakers in Health, VA, Kellogg Foundation, John A. Hartford Foundation
Commissioned Study, 2009-2010 Funded by Donaghue Foundation Semi-structured interviews with 10 exemplary programs Barriers, facilitators, and initial recommendations for scaling-up
health promotion/disease prevention interventions
11
Next Steps Need for larger, more comprehensive meeting on
scale-up/spread
Include researchers, practitioners and policymakers
Public health and health care
State-of-the-Art conference…

Scale-up/Spread Conference
13
A Conference to Advance the Science & Practice of Scale-up/Spread of Effective Health Programs
July 6-8th, 2010 in Washington, D.C.
Organizers: Joe McCannon (IHI), Brian Mittman (VA), and Wynne Norton (UAB)
Funders: AHRQ, Commonwealth Fund, VA, Donaghue Foundation, and John A. Hartford Foundation
Planning Committee Members: IHI, NIMH, VA, CMS, Karolinska, Gates Foundation, AHRQ, Commonwealth Fund, URC, and Univ. Wisconsin

Conference Aims1. To review existing knowledge and current practices related to the scale-up
and spread of effective practice in health care and public health;
2. To identify key challenges and gaps in current research, policy, and practice related to scale-up and spread in health care and public health;
3. To develop and disseminate a detailed agenda outlining critical research, policy, and practice initiatives on these topics for the next five to seven years; and
4. To launch specific activities to operationalize this agenda, creating a plan of action to prioritize research, policy, and practice activity and initiating powerful demonstrations of regional, national, and international scale-up in health care and public health.

Working Groups
Working Group Charge: Envision the ideal system for scale-up and spread Identify gaps between current state and future state Make detailed recommendations for action
Working Group Chairs: Health Care Research: Denise Dougherty, AHRQ Policy: Maulik Joshi, HRET/AHA Public Health Research: Todd Molfenter, Univ. Wisconsin Health Care Practice: Marie Schall, IHI Public Health Practice: Jürgen Unützer, Univ. Washington

Recommendations
1. Create more thoughtful incentives for scale-up/spread (e.g., funding, recognition, career advancement)
2. Stimulate donor-researcher-funder coordination in order to coordinate goals, priorities and activities
3. Enhance “pull” systems of change to complement “push” efforts
4. Develop environments for learning and sharing on scale-up Knowledge exchanges, webinars, curricula
20
Recommendations
5. Develop tools and resources on executing scale-up and spread How-to guides (what, when, and how to spread for
different types of interventions) Case studies Taxonomies Technologies
6. Develop and catalogue expanded research methods and improved data collection systems

Deliverables & Post-Conference Activities
23
Short-Term Deliverables
VA-sponsored scale-up/spread webinar series Peer-reviewed publications Detailed agenda for research and practice, including
“performance challenges” (meeting proceedings) Update and expand scale-up/spread databases and
resource listings (e.g., tools, literature, projects/programs)
Presentations at targeted meetings Interactive Scale-up/Spread Listserv
24
Potential Longer-Term Actions Active contribution to major scale-up projects Advocacy: Active connection to donors,
policymakers, etc. Durable learning network: Case studies, information
exchanges, community of practice Annual gathering Course development Tool development
