2015 Annual Meeting Theme: Health in All Policies
The environments in which people live, work, learn and play have a tremendous impact on their health. Responsibility for the social determinants of health falls to many nontraditional health partners, such as housing, transportation, education, air quality, parks, criminal justice, energy, and employment agencies. Public health agencies and organizations will need to work with those who are best positioned to create policies (legal and regulatory) and practices that promote healthy communities and environments and secure the many co-benefits that can be attained through healthy public policy.

37th Annual North American Meeting
Additional Information:
http://smdm.org/meeting/37th-annual-north-american-meeting
Description:
Theme: Implementation
Meeting Dates: Saturday, October 17 - Pre-Meeting Symposium (tentative)
Sunday, October 18 - Short Courses
Monday, October 19 - Wednesday, October 21 - Annual Meeting
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) define Implementation Science as, “the study of methods to promote the integration of research findings and evidence into healthcare policy and practice.” SMDM is uniquely positioned to bring experts from a broad range of health science disciplines together to explore implementation and exchange ideas on how to improve the translation of research findings into better bedside care and health care utilization.
The combination of short-courses, symposia and research presentations continues to foster lively debates and deeper understandings of how our scientific research can be applied to improve care. Whether through decision modeling approaches, bedside studies of patient preferences, or exploration of decision psychology, SMDM can bring innovative and disruptive changes to healthcare.
This meeting intends to help talented researchers, clinicians, and trainees communicate their findings to a broader audience. Meeting attendees will enjoy opportunities to interact with leaders in implementation, communication and the other areas encompassed by medical decision making. Attendees will be exposed to new ideas, hear from thought leaders and will be able to share their own insights with a receptive audience.
The spirit of the Show Me state is the spirit of implementation. Implementation is ultimately how we show others how our work can be applied in practice. This meeting will be a gateway to new frontiers in healthcare science.
