Using Learning Communities To Support Innovation Adoption: Lessons from the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange

Join the Health Care Innovations Exchange for a free Web event designed to share results and lessons from the Innovation Exchange’s Learning Communities initiative.

From 2014-2016, the Innovations Exchange sponsored three Learning Communities (LCs) to support innovation adoption in the following high-priority areas:

1. Advancing the Practice of Patient- and Family-Centered Care in Hospitals (Florida);
2. Reducing Non-Urgent Emergency Services (Detroit); and
3. Promoting Medication Therapy Management for At-Risk Populations (Houston)

The event will present an overview of the activities and results of the three LCs; provide insights about factors that influenced innovation adoption and implementation; and share lessons learned in using LCs as a method to implement innovations to improve quality. A leader, or “champion,” from each LC will present highlights about the learning community experience.
