The purpose of this panel is to describe the efforts of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) to implement evidence-based social and health policy programs at a national level. The panel will focus on initiatives related to continuous quality improvement, rigorous evaluation, performance measurement, and resource leveraging supported by federal policy-makers, state and local partners, grantees, and other stakeholders. The panel will address key questions of how lessons learned from the experience of developing a national program and an intentional focus on continuous quality improvement have resulted in policy development.
