Implementation Practice & Science
Abstract/Description
AIRN's Latest Book Aims to Promote the Research, Science and Practice of Implementation The science to service gap has produced a quality chasm that prevents countries around the world from realizing their goals for improved health, education, and social services. With a log jam of evidence-based innovations ready to be used in practice, it has become clear that more attention must be given to implementation practices if the quality chasm is to be crossed. AIRN's latest book Implementation Practice and Science summarizes and synthesizes advancements in implementation practice and science over the past 50 years. Key implementation frameworks are outlined in-depth including: Usable Innovations, Implementation Stages, Implementation Drivers, Implementation Teams, Improvement Cycles, and Systemic Change. With over 300 pages and over 130 if-then predictions the book weaves a mid-level theory toward the science of implementation. At the same time, the book is anchored in practice. Countless examples, and near 100 figures and tables are tailored to practitioners, teams, and organizations looking to implement and scale effective innovations - so that entire populations can benefit. The resulting common concepts, common language, and common measures in this book promote more precise communication regarding predictions and results. With increasing clarity and precision, the science of implementation can be crowdsourced with researchers around the world contributing to a common knowledge base.
