May 6 | Value in Practice: Scaling Depression Screening at Northwell

Live Webinar

Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2026, 12:00 pm-1:00 PM CST

Building on our June 2025 HFMA session, this webinar focuses on the change management mechanics that enabled Northwell to scale depression screening from a specialty pilot to enterprise adoption. We will share a practical, repeatable framework and the tools used to drive uptake across diverse ambulatory practices, executive sponsorship alignment, stakeholder and resistance mapping, targeted communications, role-based training, workflow burden reduction, and measurement-driven reinforcement through dashboards and iterative feedback loops. Attendees will leave with a “pilot-to-enterprise” playbook that can be applied to other ambulatory population health initiatives that require sustained behavior change at scale.
