This interactive session will bring together implementation researchers and quality improvers to engage in a conversation of how the two fields relate to each other. Implementation and improvement researchers will share their experiences and then engage participants in a World Café approach to consider some of the major challenges in both fields, including challenges in measurement, what level of rigor we need and adapting implementation strategies during initiatives.
Objectives - Describe how implementation and improvement research overlap and differ.
- Explain common challenges in undertaking implementation and improvement research.
- Identify high priority areas for implementation and improvement researchers to collaborate.

This session will review how to reduce measurement burden by measuring what matters for QI/safety, including assessment of improvement projects, adherence to best practices, and quality control. Panelists will describe the current state of measurement for value-based payment, accreditation, and regulation, and outline strategies to address the multiplicity and redundancy of imposed measures.
Objectives
- Describe the current state of measurement for value-based payment, accreditation and regulation.
- Develop approaches to deal with multiplicity and redundancy of imposed measures
- Develop approaches to reducing overmeasurement by focusing on “measuring what matters” for QI and safety, including the elimination of redundant measures, using temporary measures to access QI/safety projects and retiring measures to QCwhen stable improvement has been achieved.

Use SQUIRE Publication Guidelines to help you publish your QI work

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.
Objectives Employ SQUIRE 2.0 Publication guidelines to craft a strong, interesting and valid manuscript Identify a strategy for you on your intended reader Describe how to align SQUIRE and your identified reader to facilitate your journal submission process.

| Research that Resonates |
- Mark Dessauer, Vice-President, Spitfire Strategies

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.
Objectives - Identify key influences and champions to build the credibility of your research.
- Assess your communication capacity to improve the planning and dissemination of research.
- Develop a high impact dissemination and communications plan related to your research.
