The ARM is our biggest and most popular meeting of the year, and we know it offers important – and often irreplaceable – professional and networking opportunities for our community. As we face this global pandemic, now – more than ever – is the time for us to work together. In lieu of the 2020 in-person ARM, we are exploring new, virtual opportunities for the field to connect, present research, and engage in discussions about the impact of health services research on health policy and practice. Stay tuned for more information. In the meantime, please see this list of FAQs, which our team is updating regularly.   The AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting (ARM) is the gathering place for more than 3,000 individuals leading the charge to transform delivery systems and health care in a rapidly changing landscape. As the premier forum for health services research (HSR), the ARM convenes the foremost experts at the intersection of health, health care, and policy to share important findings and showcase the latest research on how the health system works, what it costs, and how to improve it. The largest meeting of its kind, the ARM is packed with new research, cutting edge methods, and robust discussions of HSR’s impact on health policy and practice. The meeting features compelling sessions, panels on critical and emerging issues in health services research, and presentations of high quality peer-reviewed research. Over the course of this three-day conference, attendees work together to share and strengthen the evidence needed to inform the decisions that affect the health of individuals and communities.

This Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, 14-17 October 2020 not only marks the 20th Anniversary of the first World Congress held in 1950, it also celebrates the evolution and growth of the WPA over the last 70 years.  As a triennial Congress, the meeting will include the WPA General Assembly at which elections for WPA officers will take place. We are particularly excited to be hosting such a significant event in Asia.  The diversity of the region encourages diversity in the program, with opportunities to explore how we work in scarce resource versus high income settings, and how we can share best practice across settings of all kinds across the world.  We will review the 2017-2020 Action Plan and delve into its themes of collaboration, reaching those living with adversity, and the rich and varying ways in which the role of psychiatrist can be legitimately expressed.  We will investigate how the time-honoured approaches and the newest techniques in psychiatry – including those in psychotherapies, neuromodulation, pharmacology, digital technologies and social therapies – can be used practically to support people affected by mental ill-health, their families and friends and community groups. These groups will join researchers and mental health professionals to consider advocacy, planning and policymaking across sectors to promote the advancement of psychiatry and mental health in all countries. Bustling Bangkok couldn’t provide a better backdrop for this milestone event.  A city of contrasts, diversity abounds, from humble street stalls to luxury malls, from historic tuk-tuks to the modern Skytrain, and from sacred temples to its vibrant nightlife – Bangkok is the most visited city in the world for good reason.  Join colleagues and thought leaders from across the globe for learning, sharing and networking. We look forward to seeing you in Bangkok in 2020!

The 1st IMPACT conference consists of two parts:  In the late afternoon of January 21, we will celebrate the official start of the Swiss Implementation Science Network with a keynote lecture by Prof. Dr. Michel Wensing, chief editor of the journal ‘Implementation Science’ (University of Heidelberg, Germany).  On January 22, we organize an Implementation Science Masterclass with contributions from international implementation science experts, Dr. Cynthia Vinson (National Cancer Institute, USA), Prof. Dr. Leah Zullig (Duke University, USA), Prof. Dr. Byron Powell (Washington University, St. Louis, USA) and Prof. Dr. Michel Wensing. The Masterclass provides a mix of theoretical lectures, practical examples of Swiss implementation science projects and roundtable discussions.    In Switzerland, this is an exciting time of growth in our national understanding and focus on implementation science. As evidence of this growing emphasis on implementation science, a number of implementation science projects are now funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation in the NFP74 research program and other competitive funding agencies. It is time to further strengthen and develop the capacity for implementation science in Switzerland.  
The goals of the Swiss Implementation Science Network (IMPACT) launched in December 2019 are to:    (1)  Showcase implementation science projects in health care conducted by Swiss health care researchers and institutions;  (2)  Provide networking opportunities for implementation science researchers and other interested stakeholders in Switzerland;  (3)  Provide training opportunities for implementation science; and  (4)  Leverage funding options for implementation science in Switzerland.   Learn more here.

Implementation Science - Knowledge Sharing – Discussion - Project Results Motto: Getting eHealth implementation right In recent decades, large amounts of time and money have been put into the development and testing of eHealth for a wide range of health problems, in the physical as well as the mental domains. Nevertheless, very few eHealth interventions are implemented and make it into routine care successfully, and those that do take many years to get there. Experiences during COVID-19 have increased the need and demand for eHealth interventions to be implemented even faster. ImpleMentAll has developed an online toolkit specifically designed and tested for improving implementation outcomes through developing, applying, and evaluating implementation strategies that are tailored to the local context and needs. These strategies are developed and adapted in close collaboration with relevant local stakeholders to address barriers that are most pressing in specific contexts and time. The project consortium aims to contribute to the field in the mid-to-longer term by having a better understanding of complex implementation processes and being able to measure them accurately using state-of-the-art implementation science approaches. Follow updates about the conference here.
