Background
The Capacity Building project is the first phase of UPMC’s participation in PCORI HSII to improve organizational preparedness for implementing and evaluating new, evidence-based practices with a health equity lens.
Health Care Challenge
Successful implementation of evidence-based practice change requires thorough understanding of contextual factors and careful planning.
Goals
UPMC is undertaking two activities that will prepare and support UPMC’s system-wide clinical and operational teams to effectively implement and evaluate practice change efforts to be awarded under HSII. First, UPMC is conducting an organizational readiness assessment to develop an agile implementation template that incorporates promising methods and implementation strategies. Second, UPMC is inventorying existing data elements and proposing data infrastructure changes to improve availability/usability of key data elements in implementation and evaluation projects.
