Welcome to our web site and the initiative to improve health care and public health through enhanced scale-up and spread of effective health programs. This website was established in conjunction with the July 2010 Conference to Advance the State of the Science and Practice on Scale-up and Spread of Effective Health Programs, an event funded by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, Commonwealth Fund, US Department of Veterans Affairs, Donaghue Foundation and John A. Hartford Foundation. The initiative seeks to envision – and trigger – a new era of rapid and broad scale up of effective practices in health care and public health, to achieve improvements in health and quality of life through more rapid diffusion and uptake of effective, innovative practices.

This site contains materials from the conference and additional resources useful in research, policy and practice activities to enhance scale-up and spread.

The website and blog are accompanied by an email discussion list. To join the list, please send an e-mail message to LISTSERV@WWW.LISTSERV.VA.GOV with the command SUBSCRIBE SCALE-UP-SPREAD-DISC-L as the body of the message. Leave the subject line of your message blank, and delete any email “signature” or other text inserted into the message. If you encounter any difficulty please contact Deborah Jenkins (Deborah.Jenkins@va.gov).

Hash Tag/Your Feedback

Several have asked about a Twitter hash tag for this week's meeting...I've just used #susconf (for scale-up and spread conference) and would invite others to do the same.

Also, several individuals have asked if they can offer updates to the conference documents posted here in the right hand column. Again, we would welcome that. And while all of the documents prepared for this conference can be viewed as works-in-progress (insofar as we'd like to add to continually deepen our learning based on your expertise) we'd especially like to invite your feedback on the bibliography and the database of projects and organizations working on scale-up and spread. Each of these documents offers the name and contact info for someone you can email directly to offer suggestions and additions.

Thanks!

Joe McCannon
