We are excited to co-host the next EMBOLDEN Capacity Building Series (virtual) event taking place on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. EDT, with guest speaker, Dr. Melissa Northwood, as she shares lessons learned on assessing the scalability of integrated care programs for older adults.
Scalability assessment involves examining the extent to which a successful program or intervention can be spread to other settings and populations to benefit more people. It also involves exploring the alignment of policy or practice to support implementation and lasting change.
Learning Objectives
- Define scalability assessments and describe the key components
- Apply a tool to assess scalability in the context of two research examples
- Reflect on the role of scalability assessments in knowledge mobilization
