Implementation science (IS) is the scientific study of methods and strategies that facilitate the uptake of evidence-based practice and research into regular use by practitioners and decision makers. This one-hour webinar covers the ins and outs of IS, introducing theory and demonstrating practice with two case studies.
Dr. Lindsay Nettlefold provides a brief introduction to IS, exploring what it is and why it is important. She also defines key terms and introduce important theories, models and frameworks that can be used to implement, scale-up and evaluate interventions.
Dr. Sarah Munro presents a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial that involved embedding contraception shared decision-making tools in clinical practice.
Dr. Sonia Singh presents a multiple case study of the implementation and spread of an evidence-based model of care to prevent recurrent fractures in BC.
These examples demonstrate the importance of understanding the implementation context when translating evidence-based tools into clinical care and illustrate the practical strategies for designing implementation science trials.
This webinar will help the audience:
- Define implementation science and relevant terms.
- Describe key theories, models and frameworks used to implement, scale and evaluate clinical interventions.
- Illustrate the process through examples from two case studies.
