AHIS, Alliance for Health Implementation Science

Our Work / Implementation Support Programs

Find what works, and scale it rapidly.

Implementation Support Programs are structured, time-bound programs that test what closes a specific care gap, measure every step, and scale what works to other communities.

Identify a gap

The gap

Every ISP starts with one gap.

Where patients fall out of care, and why.

Evidence
Gaps in evidence delay coverage.
Access
Gaps in access delay care.
Utilization
Gaps in utilization delay outcomes.

The pathway

Five steps from gap to impact.

Every Implementation Support Program follows the same path. Learn, refine, scale. Impact reports are shared publicly, including what didn't work.

Who's involved

Every role, defined up front.

Sponsors
Healthcare organizations

Fund the program and receive aggregate, de-identified results. They may help identify challenges and outcomes of interest, never control the design or evaluation.

Implementation hubs
Health systems, employers, community sites

Run the program where patients are, with implementation activities funded under written agreements, never tied to product selection or volume.

Capability partners
Specialized capabilities

Bring tools and expertise the program needs, deployed at scale.

AHIS
Independent governance

Sets the standards, oversees the protocol and reports what was learned.

Step 1

Identify a gap.

Tell us where patients fall out of care. Every Implementation Support Program begins here. We review each submission and follow up on gaps where an ISP could help.

Let's close a gap together.

Bring a gap, a site or a population. We'll build the protocol around it.
