The Conference on Advancing Implementation and Quality Improvement Science for Children’s Health Care (APA QI) is held each year the day before the Pediatric Academic Societies’ (PAS) meeting. In 2018, the conference will focus on methodological and technical issues of major importance for those performing Implementation Science and Quality Improvement (QI) research related to pediatric health care.
This conference aims to engage clinicians, physicians, hospitalists, nurses, nurse practitioners, epidemiologists, educators, public health practitioners, researchers, administrators, active pediatric investigators involved in implementation science and quality improvement research, and quality improvement professionals who are seeking to develop additional expertise in implementation science and quality improvement research methods to improve health care and outcomes for children – infants through adolescents.
Sessions will include topics, such as:
Interrupted Time Series Design
Statistical Process Control – Introduction and Advanced
Survey of QI Research Methods
Bridging Classical Statistics and QI Research
Assessing the Impact of System Interventions and Other Innovations on Disparities
Mixed Methods Evaluation in Implementation Science and QI Research
Fundamentals of QI Evaluation
Context in Implementation Science and QI Research
Getting Published
Works in Progress
Best Abstracts
Abstract submissions will be accepted through January 15, 2018. Abstracts should pertain to implementation and QI research, and their roles in creating value and reducing disparities in pediatric care.

Value for People and Populations: Investing in Integrated Care
The International Foundation of Integrated Care (IFIC) in partnership with RIVM and Vilans presents the 18th International conference on Integrated Care “Value for People and Populations: Investing in Integrated Care” to take place in The NBC Congrescentrum, Utrecht, Netherlands 23 – 25 May 2018. The conference will bring together researchers, clinicians and managers from around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.
The conference is kindly hosted by Vilans and the National institute of public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and is supported by ZonMw.
At every conference, the Integrated Care Academy© awards best paper and poster prizes to the most innovative, relevant and impactful presentations. You can download this years’ longlisted abstracts below. Overall, 32 paper abstracts and 9 poster abstracts were nominated by at least one reviewer to merit the award. A second round of reviews performed by the Scientific Committee will now determine the shortlisted abstracts. These will be announced end of April. The winners will then be determined based on their presentations during ICIC18. All papers presented as oral presentations or posters at the conference will be published in the International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC).
The Nordic Implementation Conference provides a platform for knowledge exchange and critical debate among implementers from practice, research and policy.
The scope is multidisciplinary, and professionals from all human service sectors – health, social welfare, and education – are invited to attend.
As the website says: "No matter whether you are a practitioner, consultant, organisational leader, evaluator, researcher or policy developer, and no matter whether you work for a government organisation, NGO, service agency, research institution or intermediary – this conference is for anyone working with and in implementation."

Strengthening the Evidence-to-Action Connection
With terms such as “fake news”, “alternative facts”, and “post-truth” now in common parlance, it is more important than ever that researchers, policymakers, health care practitioners, technology developers, patients, and the public affirm their commitment to action based on evidence and collaborative approaches that will strengthen the evidence-to-action connection. The HTAi 2018 Annual meeting will provide an unparalleled opportunity to consider, debate and clarify the role of health technology assessment (HTA) in the health care ecosystem.
With three plenary sessions that all support the conference’s overarching theme of Strengthening the Evidence-to-Action Connection, the HTAi 2018 Annual Meeting will be a must-attend event for those in the global HTA community to consider and debate:
how HTA needs to change its approach to generating, synthesizing and presenting evidence in order to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world;
what is required to enable the implementation of evidence into evidence-informed policies and practices, and
what can be done to strengthen and accelerate the evidence-to-action connection.
As the leading global discussion platform for all stakeholders engaged in the efficient production and use of HTAs in decision-making, HTAi supports and promotes the development, communication, understanding and use of HTA around the world as a scientifically-based and interdisciplinary means of informing decision making on the use of effective technologies and the efficient use of resources in health care. HTAi welcomes all stakeholders – patients/consumers, health care providers, academic researchers, HTA agencies, payers, policy makers, industry – to join us.
The European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) is a professional organisation formed to promote empirical and theoretical research in and applications of health psychology within Europe as well as the interchange of information related to health psychology with other associations throughout the world towards an international achievement of these aims.
To further its aims, the EHPS organises an annual conference, publishes journals, and facilitates Special Interest Groups.
The next EHPS Conference will take place in Galway, Ireland on 21-25 August 2018.

National and international renowned keynote speakers will address fascinating topics in plenary presentations and lectures.
Key topics of the congress
The future of care: patient oriented, integrated and interconnected
Science and research: new approaches in prevention, diagnostics and treatment
Mentally ill refugees: culturally sensitive psychosocial interventions and therapies
E-mental health: Chances and risks for patients
Understand and support: new impulses in psychotherapy and the value of the relationship
Quality research generates the evidence needed to optimize health and health care in the United States and elsewhere. However, the full potential of evidence can only be realized if it is effectively incorporated into health practice and policy. The Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health (D&I), co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth, bridges the gap between research, practice, and policy in health and health care.
This conference intends to support collective understanding of the research agenda to incorporate these challenges into D&I research through a combination of plenaries, concurrent and poster sessions that will present research findings and identify the next set of research priorities, setting the field up for the next decade.
The European Psychiatric Association (EPA) was founded in 1983.

A growing community of researchers and health care professionals recognise the importance of effective implementation and implementation science. Health benefits through effective interventions and quality standards can after all only be achieved when they are implemented in an effective manner. But how has this to be done and what is known in science about effective implementation? Implementation Science was the key topic during this symposium. Implementation theories were discussed, as well as success stories of effective implementation.
ImpleMentAll was officially kicked off 18 January at the VU in Amsterdam. In addition to serving as the formal start of our work in the project, the meeting gave the consortium a chance to get to know each other and connect. All in all, the day was very successful and the project got off to a good start.
The next consortium meeting will be held 5-6 July in Newcastle, UK, kindly hosted by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The International Foundation of Integrated Care (IFIC) in partnership with the Health Service Executive (HSE) presents the 17th International conference on Integrated Care “Building a platform for integrated care: delivering change that matters to people” in Dublin, Ireland 08 to 10 May 2017.
