IMPACT Center: Optimizing Evidence-Based Practice Implementation for Clinical Impact (P50)

The IMPACT Center: Optimizing Evidence-Based Practice Implementation for Clinical Impact is a collaboration between Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, University of Washington and University of Michigan. The goal of the Center is to increase high-fidelity delivery of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for youth receiving mental healthcare in low-resource community settings. IMPACT Center’s approach is to optimize EBP implementation in community settings by partnering with stakeholders to develop practical implementation strategies, methods, and resources for the practice and scientific communities. The IMPACT Center attempts to solve 3 critical challenges to high-fidelity EBP delivery – (I) Identify and prioritize determinants of practice, (II) Match strategies to prioritized determinants, and (III) Optimize strategies by testing novel methods in signature and pilot projects.
