Reporting on the strategies needed to implement proven interventions: An example from a ‘real-world’ cross-setting implementation study

摘要

ObjectiveTo empirically demonstrate the use of a new framework for describing the strategies used to implement quality improvement interventions, and provide an example that others may follow. ‘Implementation strategies’ are the specific approaches, methods, structures, and resources used to introduce and encourage uptake of a given intervention’s components. Such strategies have not been regularly reported in descriptions of interventions’ effectiveness, or in assessments of how proven interventions are implemented in new settings. This lack of reporting may hinder efforts to successfully translate effective interventions into ‘real world’ practice.
