Implementation Accelerator Office Hours | Facilitating Productive Planning Sessions 

Implementation Accelerator Office Hours are being held by Health Management Associates (HMA) for CBHL members to further explore the topics of the HMA Implementation Accelerator. The theme “Facilitating Productive Planning Sessions” will shape this conversation.

The healthcare industry is constantly evolving and requires a workforce that is responsive and able to lead and adapt to changes. Healthcare professionals are continually asked to incorporate new services, care models, quality measures, and process improvements into daily work. While clinical innovations and operational improvements are promising, there is growing recognition of the gap between plans to implement them and actual implementation. This has created an entire field of study, implementation science, to close this gap.

Health Management Associates (HMA) has extensive leadership, operational, and clinical expertise working directly with health systems, health plans, providers, foundations, community-based organizations, and associations and can help clients understand and use implementation science informed approaches for successful change. Drawing on this experience, HMA developed the HMA Implementation Accelerator, a leadership development framework that utilizes implementation science to address on-the-ground challenges and lead successful implementation efforts.

There is a hunger to talk about and problem solve complex implementation challenges with other leaders. Implementation Accelerator Office Hours invites behavioral health leaders to bring a use case to discuss as a group.
