Implementation Science and Improvisation: a Model for Successfully Delivering Continuum of Care

Dr. Lisa Saldana is Associate Director, Senior Research Scientist, and Director for the Center for Implementation Science at the Lighthouse Institute. Lisa discusses her work as an implementation scientist (and what one does), provides a definitive description of social determinants of health (while crisply clarifying misconceptions surrounding it), the Just Care for Families continuum of care service model that she developed, the improvisational skills required to deliver these services “where people are,” and what she finds most rewarding about her work.
