What people are saying

Discussions reflect a strong interest and engagement with the article's emphasis on definition and measurement of implementation outcomes, using technical language and referencing frameworks like RE-AIM and PRECEDE-PROCEED to illustrate key points. The tone suggests recognition of its significance for advancing health services research, pointing to its potential to improve implementation strategies.

AgreementModerate agreement

Many discussions recognize the importance of the publication's focus on conceptual distinctions and measurement in implementation research, showing general support.

InterestHigh interest

Posts demonstrate high interest by referencing frameworks like RE-AIM and PRECEDE-PROCEED, and by discussing measurement challenges and research agendas.

EngagementHigh engagement

Participants deepen the conversation by mentioning specific frameworks, research challenges, and citing examples like measuring implementation fidelity.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions highlight that the publication influences ongoing research practices and emphasizes the need for better measurement strategies, though the immediate impact appears moderate.

Abstract in brief

  • The paper highlights a key issue in implementation research: how to define and measure what "successful implementation" really means, proposing a set of eight specific outcomes such as acceptability, adoption, feasibility, and sustainability to better evaluate success.
  • It introduces a taxonomy of these eight implementation outcomes along with their definitions to help clarify and differentiate them from service and clinical outcomes.
  • The authors suggest a research agenda focused on improving the conceptualization and measurement of these outcomes, which will improve understanding, efficiency, and the ability to compare different implementation strategies.]

@EddieIglesia @EpiEllie @byron_powell @bjweiner Thanks for thinking of me! @EkpProctor’s pp on implementation outcomes may be useful in helping you think about whether you’re interested in a program’s implementation and/or its effect on service outcomes/processes or on client outcomes https://t.co/BHvOLqpIzX

評価フレームワーク: 実装の成功を判断するため、評価できる実装の指標を提示。 RE-AIM、PRECEDE-PROCEEDは公衆衛生から出てきたもの。Proctorは、8つの実装アウトカムを提示。これまでの4つの分類であげたTMFも評価に用いることが可能。 実装アウトカムフレームワーク https://t.co/VvMfGGCWP1

@QueenBeeChange @JSchleiderPhD Proctor et al. note that, “the foremost challenge [to disseminating EBPs] may be measuring implementation fidelity quickly and efficiently," which our team at Lyssn are day-in-day-out working to address. https://t.co/4pCFrryFE4
