Implementation of an insulin patient decision aid in an academic primary care clinic in Malaysia. 

This presentation covers the development and evaluation of an implementation strategy for implementing a locally developed insulin patient decision aid in a Malaysian primary care clinic. It identified unique barriers in Malaysian healthcare settings, created an intervention to address these barriers, and evaluated its impact using the RE-AIM framework. The presentation will highlight the effectiveness of strategies in facilitating implementation in the local context, and the use of prioritisation techniques namely multivoting in strategy development.

This is a dialogue between speakers on the panel to discuss how to bring about and leverage community and intersectoral (across professions, backgrounds and private/public sectors etc.) collaboration to scale up implementation efforts, as well as increase and sustain positive health (and social) impact.
