In this session, we illustrate the importance of and how to employ implementation science (IS) in child/family health organizations through a panel presentation. Attendees will learn foundational information about IS and hear from diverse panelists about their practical IS experiences at an organizational level via three implementation case examples: tiered-service delivery model, The ‘F-words for Child Development,’ and family engagement.
