With so much happening in the world right now, it’s been hard to keep up with all the high-value #impsci published in 2020 – but I’m trying!

Here are five articles that I’m excited to incorporate in my #implementationscience teaching and research:
Already using this article/slide to introduce #impsci in classes and workshops. Really helpful when teaching or speaking to intervention scientists, epidemiologists, and clinicians who find #impsci vocab unfamiliar and (frankly) off-putting. http://doi.org/10.1186/s43058-020-00001-z
Implementation science made too simple: a teaching tool

The field of implementation science is growing and becoming more complex. When teaching new learners, providing a clear definition of implementation science and a description of “its place” among...

Equity will be a theme running through my #impsci course this fall. So much to chew on in this article. Here’s a nugget: implementation is all about fit. This idea precedes #impsci as a field, but its relevance for improving equity resonates loudly today. http://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-020-4975-3
Reframing implementation science to address inequities in healthcare delivery

Research has generated valuable knowledge in identifying, understanding, and intervening to address inequities in the delivery of healthcare, yet these inequities persist. The best available interv...

I teach a class session on de-implementation, actually @helfrich_c teaches it for me.😀Can’t wait to assign this article. Highlights barriers unique to de-implementation. Love the five “Rs” of de-implementation action. Table 1 is a research career. http://doi.org/10.1186/s13012-019-0960-9
Unpacking the complexities of de-implementing inappropriate health interventions

De-implementing inappropriate health interventions is essential for minimizing patient harm, maximizing efficient use of resources, and improving population health. Research on de-implementation has...

Another thoughtful contribution on de-implementation. The notion of re-conceptualizing implementation outcomes to apply to both the targeted practice and the de-implementation process is super helpful. http://doi.org/10.1186/s43058-020-00035-3
Defining and conceptualizing outcomes for de-implementation: key distinctions from implementation...

Increasingly, scholars argue that de-implementation is a distinct concept from implementation; factors contributing to stopping a current practice might be distinct from those that encourage adoption...

OK, I cheated. I read this one before the pandemic.😀I teach #imspci in global health with a focus on LMICs. Kudos to my @uwdgh colleagues for helping us think about how to adapt CFIR for use in LMIC contexts. http://doi.org/10.1186/s13012-020-0977-0
Evaluating and optimizing the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) for use in...

The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is a determinants framework that may require adaptation or contextualization to fit the needs of implementation scientists in low- and...
