ABSTRACT:
Accelerating the translation of emerging innovations, including genetic risk screenings and mobile technologies, is a priority for improving health. This webinar will present a conceptual architecture for dynamic decision-making about whether, when, and how to act on emerging evidence. The Design for Accelerated Translation (DART) framework proposes that underemphasized factors – demand, risk, cost, and an evolving evidence base – can improve our calculus of whether to ramp up or down on implementation efforts. This presentation will also outline key actions to speed movement from evidence to practice, including forming meaningful partnerships, designing for dissemination, and engaging in a learning health system.
