Translating Information to Action

What is Information to Action?
Information to Action is a basket of resources and tools teams can use to make progress in primary care quality. Information to Action will provide dedicated support to teams interested in building on their momentum in measurement to improve their performance. It is also meant to teach us what really works for all AFHTO members, to translate Information to Action. The overall goal is to achieve continuously increasing performance among primary care teams in future iterations of D2D.

Who is Information to Action for?
All teams are invited to assess how ready they are to be part of Information to Action. Just like with D2D, not all teams will be ready to make this move right away. And just like D2D, teams can start slowly, taking advantage of only those parts of Information to Action that work for them right now.

How will teams translate Information to Action?
Information to Action consists of a menu of activities and supports that interested teams can choose to participate in. For the most part, teams may choose to participate in whichever activities they are ready for. The exception is for some of the more intense supports, which come with some “strings attached.”

What’s next?
The next steps for teams interested in moving from Information to Action are as follows:

• Complete your team’s readiness self-assessment.
• Submit the self-assessment to AFHTO if you are highly ready and considering taking advantage of the more intense “strings attached” resources.
• Sign up for the Information to Action Orientation session at the AFHTO conference. Efforts will be made to provide remote access to the orientation session for team members not able to attend the conference.
• Prepare team leaders to sign up for the more intense resources early in November, pending continuing team interest following the orientation session.
