Evaluating Practice Transformation PreCon Kicks off Annual Meeting

The Evaluating Practice Transformation Preconference took place today as the precursor to the start of the larger Annual Meeting on Sunday.  Nearly 70 attendees gathered to explore the emerging science of evaluating practice transformation.  Attendees collaborated with one another and shared ideas, challenges, and successes in measuring the effects of changes in practice.  A mix of presentations from presenters of a variety of disciplines including anthropology, economics, and organizational psychology demonstrated the importance of taking into consideration other viewpoints when looking at how to evaluate practice change.  

The attendees also participated in small group work to develop evaluations for case studies.  This small group collaboration fostered the exchange of ideas and sharing of best practices.  Learning from one another:  what a concept!

Five additional workshops on Evaluating Practice Transformation are embedded in the Annual Meeting programming and will go into greater detail on specific elements of the topic.  For the embedded session schedule and descriptions, see page 6 of the onsite program.
