Implementation Science & Informatics to Improve Cardiovascular Care in Primary Care Settings

CHIP Director Abel Kho and CHIP Associate Director Theresa Walunas presented an IPHAM seminar, "Implementation Science & Informatics to Improve Cardiovascular Care in Primary Care Settings." View the recording here.

The webinar description is here:
While many clinical interventions are successful in highly structured research settings, it’s essential that these interventions be incorporated into real world primary care settings to have an impact on population health. Implementation science methods combined with informatics strategies for information delivery and data collection are at the heart of translating studies into practice settings. In this talk, they shared strategies and findings from Healthy Hearts in the Heartland (H3), part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ's) EvidenceNOW initiative, one of the largest studies of cardiovascular quality improvement in primary care ever implemented in the United States. They also described the beginning phases of the CIRCL-Chicago project.
