Topics of lessons learned include:
  • Differences between the roles of innovator and spreader;
  • Essential elements of the business case for spread;
  • The importance of engaging multiple stakeholders in spread;
  • Ways to assess readiness of innovations for spread;
  • The role of the innovator’s organization in spread;
  • Ways to assess readiness for adoption;
  • Adoption-related needs of providers for vulnerable populations; and
  • The development of the science of implementation and spread.
In addition, our activities identified the need for tools, training, and other support to speed implementation. Lastly, they also resulted in a range of suggestions for the Innovations Exchange itself, including enhancements to profile content and efforts that the Exchange could undertake to support spread.
