AHRQ Innovations Exchange | Linking Clinical Practices and Community Organizations for Prevention

Linking Clinical Practices and Community Organizations for Prevention

Background and Introduction The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has set a long-term goal of understanding whether fostering linkages between clinical practices and community organizations is an effective and feasible way to enhance the delivery of preventive services. To achieve that goal, AHRQ implemented a series of related activities in 2009-2010, including conducting a literature review and environmental scan of linkages between clinical practices and community organizations, developing case studies of promising linkages, and convening a 2010 summit of representatives from federal agencies and other stakeholder organizations to develop a national strategy for promoting linkages to increase the delivery of clinical preventive services.


Innovations Exchange Resources

This special Innovations Exchange page was created to facilitate the ongoing collaborative work of the Summit participants. New Innovations and QualityTools were developed based on the case studies of promising linkages. In addition, participants can learn about Innovation profiles and tools from the Innovations Exchange collection that address promoting healthy behaviors and linkages among health care delivery, public health, and community-based interventions. Start a discussion, by posting comments on the profiles (use the comment tab at the top of the profile).

You can also share your innovative work on linking evidence-based clinical practices and community-based/public health interventions for health promotion. Learn more about how to submit your innovation.
