Implementation Research

Jeanne Century, Amy Cassata · Review of Research in Education · 2016

Over many decades, educators have developed countless interventions and theories about how to create lasting change. Implementation research is the study of these efforts with a set of basic questions: What are we doing? Is it working? For whom? Where? When? How? And, Why? In other words, implementation research is an endeavor to understand if and how educational efforts are accomplishing their goals. This chapter describes the landscape of implementation research, tracing it back to its historical roots and connecting it to other fields with the aim of identifying common threads across diverse efforts. The authors survey where the field is today and highlight different perspectives on complex questions that have long troubled researchers. They outline some of the sticky issues ahead and make a case for shared conceptual clarity and clearly communicated and understood language that will help researchers understand how various bodies of implementation research work are related. The authors conclude by describing the opportunity presented to the education research community in this moment: to capitalize on and learn from historical and contemporary work in education and other fields, and to identify connections across theories and approaches and find ways to collectively move forward toward the shared goal of making education better.

Implementation research

Jesse Shaw · Translational Sports Medicine · 2023

Implementation research is the application of evidence-based information or guidelines into clinical practice for public health influence. The transition of quantitative information into qualitative actions and the resultant dynamic change is of interest. Within sports, the goal is to improve the health and well-being of athletes to improve performance. To complete this objective one must understand the barriers and facilitators that exist and how to influence them. Although multiple theories and approaches exist, current studies primarily utilize hybrid models.

Implementation of research

Moeller, Ulrich · OpenGrey (Institut de l'Information Scientifique et Technique) · 2002

'Der Forschungsauftrag des IAB kann nur gemeinsam mit dem Informations- und Umsetzungsauftrag sinnvoll erfuellt werden. 'Oeffentlichkeit' von Forschung ist eines ihrer konstituierenden Merkmale. Dies gilt insbesondere auch fuer die Forschungseinrichtung einer Behoerde, die dem Anspruch eines kundenorientierten Dienstleistungsunternehmens genuegen will. Fuer eine Oeffentlichkeit jenseits der 'science community' genuegt es oft nicht, die einzelnen Forschungsergebnisse 'pur' anzubieten. Praxiszusammenhaenge sind herzustellen, Hintergruende aufzuhellen, Bilder zu entwerfen: Forschung muss Relevanz erlangen. Umsetzung bedeutet also in erster Linie, sich an den Zielgruppen zu orientieren, Aktualitaetsbezuege herzustellen, Verbindungen und Abgrenzungen zu anderen Ergebnissen zu verdeutlichen und die Kunden ernst zu nehmen. Dies gilt fuer mediale Umsetzung ebenso wie fuer die personale: Neben dem Veroeffentlichungsprogramm des IAB leisten vielfaeltige persoenliche Kontakte einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu erfolgreicher Umsetzungsarbeit.'

Policy implementation research

Per Nilsén, Paul Cairney · Edward Elgar Publishing eBooks · 2020

Policy implementation research has been conducted since the early 1970s. Much like implementation science, policy implementation research deals with the challenges of translating intentions into desired changes, investigating how governments put policies into effect. There are many common issues in policy implementation research and implementation science; however, knowledge exchange between the two fields has been limited. This chapter describes characteristics of policy implementation research to provide potential explanations for the lack of collaboration between researchers in the two fields. A comparative analysis of similarities and differences between the two fields is provided. It is argued that important learning for implementation science may be derived from several aspects of policy implementation research, including issues related to the influence of the context of implementation and the values and norms of the implementers on implementation. Relevant research on various associated policy topics may also contribute to improved understanding of the difficulties of implementing evidence in health care.

Implementation research in Primary Care (Part 1): What is implementation research?

Chor Yau Ooi, Wen Ting Tong, Anne Sales et al. · Malaysian Family Physician · 2026

Implementation research plays a vital role in narrowing the "evidence-to-practice" gap in primary care by ensuring that evidence-based interventions are not only adopted but also embedded into routine clinical practice in a sustainable way. This is especially important in primary care, where clinicians care for diverse patient groups, work within evolving healthcare systems, and face rapid technological change. Implementation research is defined as <i>"the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of health services."</i> This commentary introduces the concept and significance of implementation research, outlines its place within the broader research translation continuum, and clarifies how it differs from quality improvement. It also provides examples of how implementation research is applied in primary care to support the adoption of new innovations.should be further verified.
