2010 Summit
Tasks for September 2009-March 2010:
Created the format & specifications for an online web community support research within the Knowledge Network.
Launched this website.
Provided consultation & support for the development of the Implementation working group’s grant proposal
Obtained key information from KN CMHCs regarding research capacity.
Why Research?
There is a 17 year gap between research & practice in mental health. Most CMHCs do not have mechanisms to participate in research & quickly implement research-based practices. This groups’ goal is to increase the capacity of CMHCs to both engage in research & to implement research findings.

“We have three big challenges: 1) getting research findings into practice and 2) ensuring that all providers are using effective quality healthcare management tools, and 3) ensuring that there is health IT set up that supports low‐impact, realtime, relational information transfers.” – Richard Shelton, MD, Vanderbilt University | “As we measure the effectiveness of interventions, learn about new research findings, and understand more about the etiologies of mental illnesses, we have opportunities to improve care. The task is to create “learning organizations” that are innovative, flexible, accept a bit of risk, and adapt to new challenges and opportunities.” – Linda Rosenberg, MSW, CEO, National Council |
