Join our Collaborative Conversation on Wednesday, June 7 at 12:00 p.m. with Drs. Kathryn Fisher and Melissa Northwood, of the School of Nursing at McMaster University and Ms. Ethel Macatangay, Patient Care Director-Nephrology and Chronic Disease Management, Scarborough Health Network on Assessing the Scalability of the Aging, Community & Health Research Unit Community Partnership Program (ACHRU-CPP): An Intervention for Older Adults with Diabetes and Multiple Chronic Conditions.

A scalability assessment is the necessary first step in implementing (scaling up) an intervention to reach broader populations. This presentation focuses on the process used to assess the scalability of the Aging, Community & Health Research Unit Community Partnership Program (ACHRU-CPP), a self-management intervention for older adults with diabetes and multiple chronic conditions. Emphasis is placed on the engagement of key stakeholders in the process to make informed decisions about whether and how to strategically scale-up the intervention within the current policy and practice context.

During this conversation between research partners, we will discuss:

-The purpose of scalability assessment
-Tools to assess scalability
-Stakeholder involvement in scalability assessment
-Challenges in assessing scalability

Reflecting Together will take place immediately following this live webinar at 1:00 p.m. This is an opportunity for community members to come together and share their thoughts on the topics discussed during this event. We hope you will be able to join as we continue the conversation and take our learnings into action.
