Linking Clinical Practices and the Community for Prevention

This Innovations Exchange page was created to promote healthy patients, families, and communities by helping you to learn how to better integrate the delivery of clinical and community-based prevention and health promotion interventions. Specifically:

This page was created in response to a request from the participants of the 2008 AHRQ Linking Clinical Practice and the Community for Health Promotion Summit. You are invited to share your innovative work on linking evidence-based clinical practices and community-based/public health interventions for health promotion. Go to Submit Your Innovation page.

AHRQ 2008 Summit on Linking Clinical Practice and the Community for Health Promotion

The summit (May 2008) was co-sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the American Medical Association, and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. The summit was aimed at encouraging collaboration, coordination, and integration among health care providers, institutions, and community resources.

Participants examined successful partnerships at health system, community, and State levels and identified strategies to overcome partnership barriers such as required collaboration, coordination, and integration through system changes and joint initiatives.

To facilitate the ongoing collaborative work of the summit participants, this special Innovations Exchange resource page was created. Innovation profiles and tools from the Innovations Exchange collection address promoting healthy behaviors and linkages among health care delivery, public health, and community-based interventions.
