What it is: Implementation science is the study of how to take evidence-based practices (like health interventions or new clinical workflows) and successfully integrate them into real-world settings. It focuses on the theory, methods, and research behind why some interventions work in practice and others don’t. Key Focus: It’s concerned with understanding the barriers and facilitators to effective implementation, and how to address those barriers to ensure the successful adoption of programs or interventions. Goal: To bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that effective interventions are not just studied but actually applied and sustained in healthcare settings. At the moment, in my context, I want to learn more on Implementation Strategies -- steps i need to take to get service running smoothly.
