Implementation Science approaches for integrating ehealth research into practice and policy
International Journal of Medical Informatics, 2014Co-Authors: Russell E Glasgow, Siobhan M Phillips, Michael A SanchezAbstract:Abstract Purpose To summarize key issues in the eHealth field from an Implementation Science perspective and to highlight illustrative processes, examples and key directions to help more rapidly integrate research, policy and practice. Methods We present background on Implementation Science models and emerging principles; discuss implications for eHealth research; provide examples of practical designs, measures and exemplar studies that address key Implementation Science issues; and make recommendations for ways to more rapidly develop and test eHealth interventions as well as future research, policy and practice. Results The pace of eHealth research has generally not kept up with technological advances, and many of our designs, methods and funding mechanisms are incapable of providing the types of rapid and relevant information needed. Although there has been substantial eHealth research conducted with positive short-term results, several key Implementation and dissemination issues such as representativeness, cost, unintended consequences, impact on health inequities, and sustainability have not been addressed or reported. Examples of studies in several of these areas are summarized to demonstrate this is possible. Conclusions eHealth research that is intended to translate into policy and practice should be more contextual, report more on setting factors, employ more responsive and pragmatic designs and report results more transparently on issues important to potential adopting patients, clinicians and organizational decision makers. We outline an alternative development and assessment model, summarize Implementation Science findings that can help focus attention, and call for different types of more rapid and relevant research and funding mechanisms.

Implementation Science perspectives and opportunities for HIV/AIDS research: integrating Science, practice, and policy.
Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2013Co-Authors: Russell E Glasgow, Erin T Eckstein, M Khair ElzarradAbstract:Disparities in the incidence and mortality of HIV/AIDS persist, challenging researchers, practitioners, and communities to develop improved strategies to reach vulnerable and marginalized populations. The emerging field of Implementation Science, with its focus on context, external validity, and innovative design approaches, is well suited to respond to this challenge. We provide an overview of Implementation Science, including its frameworks, tools, and strategies, and how they can inform the response to HIV/AIDS. We summarize pioneering Implementation Science frameworks, and then present examples using newer models, including RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness/Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) and the Evidence Integration Triangle, a framework for combining research and practice using participatory and adaptive processes in a multilevel context. Although still developing, the international field of Implementation Science can offer helpful perspectives for facilitating the more rapid integration of HIV/AIDS research, practice, and policy.

fostering successful and sustainable collaborations to advance Implementation Science the adolescent hiv prevention and treatment Implementation Science alliance
Journal of the International AIDS Society, 2020Co-Authors: Rachel Sturke, Susan Vorkoper, Lindagail Bekker, Wole Ameyan, Chewe Luo, Susannah Allison, Damilola Walker, Bill G Kapogiannis, Laura GuayAbstract:INTRODUCTION HIV continues to devastate the adolescent population in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The complex array of interpersonal, social, structural and system-level obstacles specific to adolescents have slowed progress in prevention and treatment of HIV in this population. The field of Implementation Science holds promise for addressing these challenges. DISCUSSION There is growing consensus that enhanced interactions between researchers and users of scientific evidence are important and necessary to tackle enduring barriers to Implementation. In 2017, the Fogarty International Center launched the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA) to promote communication and catalyse collaboration among Implementation scientists and implementers to enhance the cross-fertilization of insights as research advances and the Implementation environment evolves. This network has identified key Implementation Science questions for adolescent HIV, assessed how members' research is addressing them, and is currently conducting a concept mapping exercise to more systematically identify Implementation research priorities. In addition, AHSA pinpointed common challenges to addressing these questions and discussed their collective capacity to conduct Implementation Science using the shared learning approach of the network. Specifically, AHISA addresses challenges related to capacity building, developing mentorship, engaging stakeholders, and involving adolescents through support for training efforts and funding region-/country-specific networks that respond to local issues and increase Implementation Science capacity across SSA. CONCLUSIONS Innovative platforms, like AHISA, that foster collaborations between Implementation Science researchers, policymakers and community participants to prioritizes research needs and identify and address Implementation challenges can speed the translation of effective HIV interventions to benefit adolescent health.

Making Implementation Science Work for Children and Adolescents Living With HIV.
JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2018Co-Authors: Daniella Mark, Susan Vorkoper, Elvin Geng, Shaffiq Essajee, Kim Bloch, Nicola Willis, Bethany Stewart, Sabrina Bakeera-kitaka, Nandita Sugandhi, Rachel SturkeAbstract:The global HIV response is leaving children and adolescents behind. Because of a paucity of studies on treatment and care models for these age groups, there are gaps in our understanding of how best to implement services to improve their health outcomes. Without this evidence, policymakers are left to extrapolate from adult studies, which may not be appropriate, and can lead to inefficiencies in service delivery, hampered uptake, and ineffective mechanisms to support optimal outcomes. Implementation Science research seeks to investigate how interventions known to be efficacious in study settings are, or are not, routinely implemented within real-world programmes. Effective Implementation Science research must be a collaborative effort between government, funding agencies, investigators, and implementers, each playing a key role. Successful Implementation Science research in children and adolescents requires clearer policies about age of consent for services and research that conform to ethical standards but allow for rational modifications. Implementation research in these age groups also necessitates age-appropriate consultation and engagement of children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Finally, resource, systems, technology, and training must be prioritized to improve the availability and quality of age-/sex-disaggregated data. Implementation Science has a clear role to play in facilitating understanding of how the multiple complex barriers to HIV services for children and adolescents prevent effective interventions from reaching more children and adolescents living with HIV, and is well positioned to redress gaps in the HIV response for these age groups. This is truer now more than ever, with urgent and ambitious 2020 global targets on the horizon and insufficient progress in these age groups to date.

How Implementation Science Improves Access to Care (P1.284)
Neurology, 2016Co-Authors: Donald H. Silberberg, Rachel Sturke, Donna BergenAbstract:OBJECTIVE: Implementation Science aims at bringing new or unavailable methods of treatment or prevention to patients. This paper introduces neurologists to Implementation Science, provides some examples, and discusses support for future projects. BACKGROUND: The epilepsy treatment gap is describes the failure of new or appropriate therapies to reach patients, particularly in countries with limited resources or in rural areas. Obstacles may include lack of knowledge by physicians, inadequate access to medical care, cost, or social stigma. Implementation Science produces generalizable data about such obstacles, and methods to reduce or remove them. DESIGN/METHODS: The Fogarty International Center, with the National Institutes of Health and others, have assembled a Working Group to engage neurologists in learning more about Implementation Science, identifying appropriate targets for research, and extending the reach of effective interventions for epilepsy and other neurological disorders. The Working Group is launching the Learning Collaborative for Implementation Science in Global Brain Disorders, to raise awareness of Implementation Science strategies, promote research priorities such as reducing the epilepsy treatment gap, and support investigators engaged in this type of research. Some projects arising from the program, The Global Burden of Epilepsy: Out of the Shadows, used Implementation Science to demonstrate how the treatment gap can be narrowed in certain regions. RESULTS: The Working Group is currently executing a needs assessment and developing a work plan for collaborative learning and improved capacity in Implementation Science in neurology. CONCLUSIONS: Using the methods of Implementation Science often involves improving connections between clinical research results, medical practice, and health care policy. The neuroScience community can demonstrate how care for neurological disorders can be improved by engaging diverse stakeholders in Implementation Science projects. Support for such research may become available through the Fogarty Center and its partner institutes within the National Institutes of Health. Disclosure: Dr. Bergen has nothing to disclose.

Implementation Science in times of Covid-19.
Implementation science : IS, 2020Co-Authors: Michel Wensing, Anne E. Sales, Rebecca Armstrong, Paul WilsonAbstract:The emergence of SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 affects all of us and is associated with rapid and massive changes in healthcare and societies. As a response, a range of interventions for patients and populations have been implemented in health and preventive settings, or need to be implemented in the short and long term. Implementation Science offers a multidisciplinary perspective and systematic approach for the design, evaluation and analysis of programmes and policies to enhance Implementation. The emergence of Covid-19 provides an urgent need to develop new perspectives and approaches in Implementation Science, such as the addition of innovative and rigorous approaches to the collection, use and analysis of 'real-world' data. Above all, we hope that Implementation scientists will focus on what they can contribute to manage Covid-19 and its consequences for people, healthcare and society.

Welcome to Implementation Science Communications
Implementation science communications, 2020Co-Authors: Rebecca Armstrong, Anne E. SalesAbstract:Implementation research in health is a rapidly growing field. Fourteen years after the launch of Implementation Science, submissions to the journal have grown exponentially, and the journal now uses a high bar for assessing submitted manuscripts. The field of Implementation research in health, however, is growing largely through entry of junior researchers with keen interest in the field whose funding histories and research experience are still developing. We consider it essential to support newer entrants to the field and boundary-spanning work that may consist of smaller, pilot studies, as well as those that contribute primarily descriptive findings. As a companion journal to Implementation Science, Implementation Science Communications will accept a broad and diverse range of article types, and provide an important platform for smaller scale or more descriptive research. As with Implementation Science, no specific discipline, research design, or paradigm will be favoured.

Integrating Lean Thinking and Implementation Science Determinants Checklists for Quality Improvement: A Scoping Review:
American journal of medical quality : the official journal of the American College of Medical Quality, 2019Co-Authors: Taylor Standiford, Anne E. Sales, Marisa L. Conte, John E. Billi, Geoffrey D. BarnesAbstract:It is not known how often lean tools and Implementation determinants frameworks or checklists are used concurrently in health care quality improvement activities. The authors systematically reviewed the literature for studies that used a lean tool along with an Implementation Science determinants framework (January 1999 through August 2018). Seven studies (8 publications) were identified, inclusive of 2 protocols and 6 research articles across multiple continents. All included studies used the consolidated framework for Implementation research as their Implementation Science determinants framework. Lean tools included in more than 1 publication were process mapping (4 publications), process redesign (3 publications), and 5S standardization (2 publications). Only 1 study proposed using a lean tool concurrently with an Implementation Science determinants framework in the design and execution of the QI project. Few published studies utilize both an Implementation Science determinants framework or checklist and 1 or more lean tool in their study design.

Implementation Science and Implementation Science Communications: our aims, scope, and reporting expectations
Implementation science : IS, 2019Co-Authors: Anne E. Sales, Paul Wilson, Michel Wensing, Gregory A. Aarons, Rebecca Armstrong, Signe Flottorp, Alison M. Hutchinson, Justin Presseau, Anne Rogers, Nick SevdalisAbstract:In the 13 years since the inception of Implementation Science, we have witnessed a continued rise in the number of submissions, reflecting the growing global interest in methods to enhance the uptake of research findings into healthcare practice and policy. We now receive over 800 submissions annually, and there is a large gap between what is submitted and what gets published. To better serve the needs of the research community, we announce our plans to introduce a new journal, Implementation Science Communications, which we believe will support publication of types of research reports currently not often published in Implementation Science. In this editorial, we state both journals’ scope and current boundaries and set out our expectations for the scientific reporting, quality, and transparency of the manuscripts we receive.

Oxford Medicine Online - Theories, Frameworks, and Models in Implementation Science in Cancer
Oxford Medicine Online, 2018Co-Authors: Ted A. Skolarus, Rachel G. Tabak, Anne E. SalesAbstract:This chapter describes Implementation theories, models, and frameworks and justifies their systematic use to build understanding of Implementation Science across the cancer care continuum and, ultimately, facilitate stewardship of effective cancer care and spending across complex clinical and public health contexts. The chapter discusses several previously developed taxonomy and categorization schemes as well as resources to aid Implementation researchers and practitioners in their cancer-related Implementation Science efforts. The importance of precision Implementation using systematic theoretical approaches to coincide with precision oncology efforts and funding is also discussed. After providing concrete examples of theory, model, and framework use across the continuum from prevention to palliative care, relevant Implementation Science opportunities for collaboration, patient-reported outcomes research, de-Implementation, and measurement are highlighted as future directions. A case is constructed for the systematic use of theories, models, and frameworks in Implementation Science and practice.
