Ten recommendations for using implementation frameworks in research and practice

Joanna C. Moullin, Kelsey S. Dickson, Nicole A. Stadnick et al. · 30 Apr 2020

BACKGROUND: Recent reviews of the use and application of implementation frameworks in implementation efforts highlight the limited use of frameworks, despite the value in doing so. As such, this article aims to provide recommendations to enhance the application of implementation frameworks, for implementation researchers, intermediaries, and practitioners. DISCUSSION: Ideally, an implementation framework, or multiple frameworks…

Implementation science made too simple: a teaching tool

Geoffrey M. Curran · 25 Feb 2020

BACKGROUND: The field of implementation science is growing and becoming more complex. When teaching new learners, providing a clear definition of implementation science and a description of "its place" among related fields can be difficult. The author developed a teaching tool using very simple language to help learners grasp key concepts in implementation science. THE…

Implementation of virtual reality in healthcare: a scoping review on the implementation process of virtual reality in various healthcare settings

Marileen Kouijzer, Hanneke Kip, Yvonne H. A. Bouman et al. · 16 Jun 2023

BACKGROUND: Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used in healthcare settings as recent technological advancements create possibilities for diagnosis and treatment. VR is a technology that uses a headset to simulate a reality in which the user is immersed in a virtual environment, creating the impression that the user is physically present in this virtual space.…

A more practical guide to incorporating health equity domains in implementation determinant frameworks

Eva N. Woodward, Rajinder Sonia Singh, Phiwinhlanhla Ndebele‐Ngwenya et al. · 5 Jun 2021

BACKGROUND: Due to striking disparities in the implementation of healthcare innovations, it is imperative that researchers and practitioners can meaningfully use implementation determinant frameworks to understand why disparities exist in access, receipt, use, quality, or outcomes of healthcare. Our prior work documented and piloted the first published adaptation of an existing implementation determinant framework with…

Pragmatic approaches to analyzing qualitative data for implementation science: an introduction

Shoba Ramanadhan, Anna Revette, Rebekka M. Lee et al. · 29 Jun 2021

Qualitative methods are critical for implementation science as they generate opportunities to examine complexity and include a diversity of perspectives. However, it can be a challenge to identify the approach that will provide the best fit for achieving a given set of practice-driven research needs. After all, implementation scientists must find a balance between speed…
