SUMMARY:KT Canada Scientific Meeting 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nConference InformationGuest SpeakersRegistrationAgendaProgramFor Abstract Presenters The 2022 KT Canada Annual Scientific Meeting is being held on May 4-6\, 2022 in a *virtual* format. \nThe theme is ‘Developing and evaluating tailored dissemination strategies for different audiences: What have we learned from dissemination science during COVID-19?’ \nThe deadline for submitting abstracts has now passed. \nPlease see the “Guest Speakers” tab for information about conference speakers and the “Registration” tab for information about registering. \nFurther updates will be posted here\, on our Twitter account (@KTCanada) and in the KT Canada weekly newsletter. \nFor questions please contact Meghan.Storey@UnityHealth.to. \n \nDr. Rinad Beidas \nRinad Beidas\, PhD\, is the Director of the Penn Medicine Nudge Unit; Founder and Director of the Penn Implementation Science Center at the Leonard Davis Institute (PISCE@LDI); and Associate Director at the Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics (CHIBE). She is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry; Medical Ethics and Health Policy; and Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Major scientific discoveries have produced scores of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to improve health and mental health. Unfortunately\, many of these EBPs never make their way into routine health care delivery. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of EBPs into routine care with the broad goal of ensuring that scientific discoveries realize their potential and improve people’s lives. Her research program is designed to improve the quality of health and mental health services through implementation science. To conduct this work\, she collaborates closely with key stakeholders\, including patients\, clinicians\, health system leaders\, payers\, and policy-makers\, to develop natural laboratories in which to answer questions of interest. These labs span diverse health care settings\, including community mental health clinics in Philadelphia\, the network of Penn Medicine clinics and hospitals serving individuals with cancer\, health centers providing HIV care\, and the Mental Health Research Network\, a national practice-based research network of 14 healthcare systems. Broadly\, her work entails three primary foci that draw upon the methods of implementation science: (a) understanding the context in which individuals will implement EBPs\, (b) developing implementation approaches that target the factors that may accelerate or hinder implementation\, and (c) conducting pragmatic trials to test these implementation approaches. She does this work across disease areas (e.g.\, mental health\, cancer\, HIV). She has been identified as a leading implementation scientist and has published approximately 200 articles in this area. She serves as MPI on 2 NIH Centers on behavioral economics and implementation science (P50 MH 113840\, P50 CA 244690) and has a strong record of NIH-funded implementation research serving as MPI or PI of 10 NIH grants totaling approximately $30 million dollars.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Translation (KT) Basics
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge translation (KT) is a bridge between research and real-world practice in an effort to strengthen health systems and improve health outcomes. But how do you apply evidence? At the KT Program\, we believe that we can implement change in the health system better by thinking about change differently. Our approach to KT is rooted in theory and science\, but our application of KT is uniquely pragmatic and focused on real-world impact. Our approach to training involves empowering individuals and organizations in the health system with knowledge and support on how to do KT. \nWorkshop OverviewRegistration InformationApplication Instructions\nKnowledge Translation (KT) Basics is a 2-day workshop on the fundamentals of implementing change using best practices in KT. In KT Basics\, participants will learn how to: \n\nIdentify key KT definitions\nAssess and prioritize implementation needs\nUse appropriate methods to assess the quality of available evidence\nDefine the scope of change and ideal practices to be implemented\nIdentify key processes that inform the selection of implementation strategies\n\nThis workshop will benefit anyone interested in learning more about how KT can be applied to their own work. Professionals and full-time graduate students involved in all dimensions of health (e.g.\, acute care\, long-term care\, public health\, mental health\, etc.) are welcome to attend. \nNote: this workshop will not focus on best practices in disseminating evidence/end-of-grant KT. \n  \nIf you would like to discuss whether this workshop aligns with your learning goals and needs\, please contact Melissa Courvoisier. Dates and Location\nDates: October 16 & 17\, 2017 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET \nLocation: Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at St. Michael’s Hospital\, Toronto\, Canada \n  \nCost\nRegistration for the KT Basics workshop is $850.00 CAD per person. \nThere are a limited number of spots reserved for students. Registration for full-time graduate students is $425.00 CAD per person. \nThe cost includes participation in the 2-day in-person workshop\, food (coffee/tea\, snacks\, and lunch)\, and access to take-home resources. Travel to and from Toronto and accommodation during the workshop is not included. \n  \n  \n  To apply\, please fill out the KT Basics workshop application form on the KT Basics website. \nApplication deadline: August 18\, 2017 11:59 PM ET \n  \n
