Speaker(s):
Presentation: EBT’s and EBP’s are primarily designed with one goal in mind: improved health outcomes in people. From academics to organizational CEO’s and program directors to new clinicians, you continuously hear this chant of EBP’s. Evidence-based treatments and practices give us predictability in our ability to generate changes in behavioral and health outcomes. Some were introduced to this concept while in our training programs and some of us are just now learning about new ways of moving the needle on behavioral health and health change. This workshop draws from the facilitator’s extensive history of working with organizations to implement new evidence-based treatment programs. These “lessons learned” from a decade of implementation experience will provide practical advice and a model to consider when organizations plan to adopt and implement a new evidence-based treatment. A model is only as effective as it is implemented and this workshop will help bridge the gap between failed implementation to successful implementation.
Objectives:
- Discuss an overview of the implementation process for evidence-based treatments and practices in organizations.
- Identify potential pitfalls in the process of implementing evidence-based treatments and practices in organizations.
- Utilize a model for thinking about, beginning, selecting, implementing and sustaining evidence-based mental health treatments within organizations.
