The Subcommittee on Dissemination and Implementation Science conducts the following activities:
· Identification, Facilitation, and Evaluation of ASH Dissemination Strategies
The subcommittee is tasked with identifying, facilitating, and evaluating dissemination strategies which aim to raise awareness and increase understanding of ASH guidelines and related quality efforts. Key guideline messages are identified by guideline panelists; target audiences include clinicians, patients, press, and policy makers. Prioritized activities to raise awareness can include press releases, social media campaigns, e-newsletters, and promotion at relevant educational meetings.
Dissemination strategies may include ASH apps, informational materials, features on the ASH website, social media, and inclusion in guideline repositories. Efforts to increase understanding of ASH guidelines and related quality efforts may include expert video interviews, educational webinars, podcasts, visual abstracts, teaching slide sets, pocket guides, presentation at educational meetings, online educational modules, and patient versions of the guidelines.
The subcommittee evaluates current dissemination strategies and target audiences with the goal of increasing efficiency, reach, and effectiveness. The subcommittee also identifies and leads new dissemination strategies, including development of guideline recommendation visualizations.

The subcommittee is also tasked with identifying, facilitating, and evaluating efforts to support the implementation of ASH guidelines and related quality efforts at the point of care. The subcommittee supports current implementation work, which includes clinical quality measures, patient decision aids, clinical decision support, quality improvement toolkits, and policy advocacy statements. The subcommittee explores pathways for integrating ASH guideline recommendations at the point of care through electronic health record integration. Additional related efforts include the identification and development of clinical decision trees and order sets.
