  2. AMCHP’s Best Practice Program • AMCHP launched the best practice program at the 2007 AMCHP Annual Conference • AMCHP uses the concept of "best practices" to drive our efforts to define, document and disseminate effective models and tools in maternal and child health • AMCHP defines best practice as a continuum of practices, programs and policies ranging from promising to evidence-based to science-based
