Proceedings from the 11th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation Washington, DC, USA. 3-5 December 2018 Published: 25 March 2019
I1 Introduction Gila Neta1, David Chambers1, Lisa Simpson2 1 National Cancer Institute, Rockville, MD, USA; 2AcademyHealth, Washington, DC, USA Implementation Science 2019, 14(Suppl 1):I1 In December 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth co-hosted the 11th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) in Health, “Scaling up Effective Health and Healthcare: Advancing the Research Agenda and Necessary Infrastructure.” Reflecting increased interest in the field and growth in our research community, we had record attendance with nearly 1,300 researchers, practitioners and policymakers convening in Washington, DC, including a large number of attendees who had not previously taken part in the conference series. This eleventh iteration of the conference balanced its three-day research agenda among concurrent paper sessions, hundreds of posters, a keynote speaker and three plenary panels, all touching upon the conference theme of scaling up effective health and healthcare as well as building capacity and the necessary infrastructure in the field. This supplement contains the abstracts from the concurrent sessions, reflecting the variety of dissemination and implementation research supported and disseminated by our conference sponsors, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), AcademyHealth, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Although not included in this supplement, an additional 405 papers were presented in poster format and can be viewed at https://academyhealth.confex.com/academyhealth/2018di/ meetingapp.cgi/ModulePosterSessions/0. We marked the fifth year of a partnership between the NIH and AcademyHealth in co-hosting the conference and were assisted by a multidisciplinary program planning committee which informed the plenary session development, recruited key speakers and developed the topics for workshops, one of several new elements of the conference this year. We organized concurrent sessions across ten tracks, with two to three leads per track developing the call for abstracts, and chairing review panels to select thematic sessions. We also convened a scientific advisory panel to advise on the overall conference, particularly highlighting the theme of scaling up effective health and healthcare in community, public health, and healthcare settings, with a focus on low resource settings. We were pleased to host Dr. Amy Abernethy, then chief medical officer, chief scientific officer and senior vice president, oncology, at Flatiron Health, who delivered the keynote address “Making learning health systems a reality: Data, technology, analysis, implementation, and iteration.” Dr. Abernethy showcased the
