Q

Refers to the incidence of death within a population. It is a measure of the number of deaths from a particular cause.

A

Mortality

19
Q

Challenge in Implementation Science

A

It is not enough to have a good implementation process - compliance, training, and follow through is necessary to ensure implementation is done as intended.

20
Q

Studies suggest that it can take this average number of years for new evidence to be translated into clinical practice.

A

17 years

21
Q

What is the Research-Practice Gap?

A

Studies suggest that it can take an average of 17 years for new evidence to be translated into clinical practice.

This delay in implementation can lead to suboptimal care for patients.

Research: Prioritizes innovation, controlled conditions, and selective participants.
Clinical Practice: Focuses on sustainability, generalizability, and resource constraints.

22
Q

Research and Development Process in Clinical Practice

A

1) Generating evidence from research
2) Synthesizing the evidence
3) Developing evidence-based clinical policies
4) Applying the policies

22
Q

Considerations in Making Clinical Decisions for Patient Care

A
  • The patient’s circumstances
  • The evidence
  • The patient’s wishes
23
Q

Challenges to Bridging the Research-Practice Gap

A

Selection Bias: Research studies often involve highly selected participants and settings, leading to limited generalizability to real-world practice.

Implementation Costs: Implementing new interventions can be expensive, requiring resources for training and adaptation.

Competing Priorities: Clinicians may be reluctant to adopt new practices if they perceive them as time-consuming or disruptive to existing workflows.

24
Q

What are the priorities of the research world?

A
  • Maximizing efficacy of interventions
  • Controlled conditions and selective participants
  • High quality evaluations and trials
  • Research funds
  • Innovation and new approaches
  • Selective staff
  • Focus on specific interventions
25
Q

What are the priorities of Clinical Practice/Health Services?

A
  • Achieve sustainable delivery
  • Generalizability to a broad patient population
  • Widespread adoption of interventions
  • Reliability and consistency of care
  • Resource constraints and financial limitations
  • Diverse and generalist workforcce
  • Focus on overall service delivery
26
Q

The scientific study of methods to promote the update of research findings into routine healthcare in clinical, organizational or policy contexts.

A

Implementation Science

27
Q

It supports innovative approaches to identifying, understanding, and overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions, tools, policies, and guidelines.

A

Implementation Science

27
Q

The continuum starts with basic research and progresses to clinical application.

A

Translational Continuum

28
Q

Implementation research within the Translational Continuum

A

1) Proof of Concept: Is it safe? Does it work?
2) Proof of Implementation: How does it work in real-world settings?
3) Informing Scale-up: Health systems integration and sustainability

29
Q

An early safety studies, where you don’t really think about implementation because you have no idea whether a new drug, a new therapy, or a new pathway will actually work at all.

A

Proof of Concept Studies

30
Q

Focus: Primarily interested in patient-reported outcomes and the effectiveness of clinical interventions (drugs, surgical techniques, therapies).

Unit of Analysis: Patients or groups of patients (may include facilities in cluster trials).

Outcomes: Patient symptoms, health outcomes (mortality, infection rates).

A

Clinical Effectiveness Research

31
Q

Focus: Primarily interested in provider-reported outcomes and the effectiveness of implementation strategies (methods to promote adoption and use of interventions).

Intervention: Implementation strategies, not clinical interventions.

Unit of Analysis: Providers, clinicians, clinical teams, or facilities.

Outcomes: Acceptability, feasibility, fidelity of implementation (delivered as designed), adoption rates.

A

Implementation Research

32
Q

Clinical Effectiveness Research VS Implementation Research

A

Implementation research focuses on the “how” of implementing interventions, while clinical research focuses on the “what” (effectiveness of interventions).

33
Q

Research that investigates the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of clinical interventions.

A

Clinical Research

34
Q

A medical treatment or procedure designed to improve a patient’s health or treat a disease.

Examples: drugs, surgical techniques, and psychological therapies

A

Clinical Intervention

35
Q

The main measure of success or failure in a clinical research study. It can be a patient-reported outcome (e.g., symptoms, quality of life) or a health outcome (e.g., mortality, infection rates).

A

Primary Outcome

36
Q

The level at which data is collected and analyzed in a research study. It can be individual patients, groups of patients, or facilities.

A

Unit of Analysis

36
Q

A process of assigning participants to different groups (experimental or control) by chance to ensure that the groups are comparable at the start of a study.

A

Randomization

37
Q

A method or approach used to promote the adoption and use of clinical intervention in routine practice.

A

Implementation Strategy

38
Q

Data collected from healthcare providers about their experiences with implementing an intervention.

A

Provider-Reported Outcomes

39
Q

The practicality or ease of implementing an intervention in a clinical setting.

A

Feasibility

39
Q

The perceived value or usefulness of an intervention by healthcare providers.

A

Acceptability

40
Q

Methods or techniques used to enhance the adoption, implementation, and sustainability of a clinical program or intervention.

A

Implementation Strategies

40
Q

The extent to which an intervention is delivered as intended, following the guidelines and protocols.

A

Fidelity

41
Q

Proposed generalizable explanations regarding how interventions or programs are implemented; whether implementation is successful, and why.

A

Implementation Theories and Frameworks

42
Q

Factors or attributes that are external to an intervention or program and that facilitate or impede implementation efforts.

A

Implementation Context
