WEBINAR: State Dissemination and Implementation Strategies on Local Health Department Accreditation Readiness and Quality Improvement Maturity (DIRECTIVE Study)

Thursday, Feb 18, 2016 (All day)
Location: Lexington, KY United States

screen_shot_2016-07-11_at_12.39.18_pm.png Quality improvement and accreditation readiness are intertwined for public health practice improvement. Local health departments engage in quality improvement and prepare for accreditation with varied and sometimes limited support from state-level partners. Research is lacking on how state-level initiatives and investments lead to differences in local-level quality improvement maturity and accreditation readiness. This analysis seeks to understand if state-level efforts to disseminate quality improvement practices impact the implementation of quality improvement efforts by local health departments and their readiness to become accredited. This study is one of four active Dissemination and Implementation Research to Improve Value (DIRECTIVE) projects conducted by Public Health PBRNs.
