What a pleasure to hear @NHLBI_Translate from @nih_nhlbi talk @YaleCardiology about the persistent gaps in quality of healthcare and the opportunities with implementation science. He is challenging us to do more with what we already know works. @YaleMed @NIHDirector

@NHLBI_Translate @nih_nhlbi @YaleCardiology @YaleMed @NIHDirector For context…implementation science is the study of methods to promote the integration of reserach findings and evidence into healthcare policy and practice. [and we must involve patients in all of these efforts].

@NHLBI_Translate @nih_nhlbi @YaleCardiology @YaleMed @NIHDirector We hear from @NHLBI_Translate talk about the importance of thinking about equity in the implementation of evidence… we can inadvertently worsen disparities if we do not apply an equity lens. @YaleCardiology @YaleMed

Also from @NHLBI_Translate … “We need strategies for rapid integration of proven-effective interventions into routine clinical practice and health policy.”
