This interactive session is anchored in the principal that your unique healthcare improvement work is incomplete until it is published. Publication is how you spread your innovative work broadly for the benefit of other patients and health systems. The session offers practical applications of the SQUIRE 2.0 Publication Guidelines (www.squire-statement.org) to get started or to strengthen your paper. In this regard, the presenters explore how to approach the description of a clear rationale for your initiative, the explanation of the central role of context in your success, and the evidence that underlies your improvement outcomes. They also emphasize the importance of writing for your specific reader, and how this can help focus your writing process as well as provide you guidance for selecting the most appropriate journal for your publication.

 

​ ​This session will provide an overview of how research can be packaged and disseminated for a more strategic impact. This research methods session will help participants consider the “4 Ps” (purpose, people, package and planning) when planning research that requires outreach to engage the right people.  The session will teach participants the best practices for sharing research for maximum impact: who participants need to engage to bolster credibility; how to package research for maximum effort and plan an appropriate rollout; and how to prioritize communication among numerous research projects. Participants would bring an upcoming research project to develop a plan during the session.
