The document discusses problems with current approaches to quality improvement (QI) research and implementation science. It argues that QI research often lacks consideration of context and implementation processes. Multilevel and mixed methods designs are proposed to better account for these factors. Complexity science principles are also discussed as relevant to understanding implementation within organizational systems. The document calls for building more capacity for implementation research through multidisciplinary teams, long-term studies, and involvement of end users.
What is implementation science and why should you careLisa Muldrew
This document provides an overview of implementation science and its aims to develop strategies for improving health processes and outcomes. It discusses the translation continuum from pre-intervention to dissemination and implementation studies. Key factors that impact successful implementation include context, innovation characteristics, recipients, and facilitation. This is illustrated through a clinical case example where a study called ASSIST used a multifaceted strategy including a quality improvement team and external facilitator to successfully improve metabolic monitoring rates for patients on antipsychotics from 70% to over 90%.
This document provides an overview of implementation research. It defines implementation research as using strategies to introduce or change evidence-based health interventions in real world contexts. Implementation research is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to understand and close the gap between evidence and practice. The document discusses conceptual frameworks, methods, outcomes and evidence used in implementation research. It describes both qualitative and quantitative research designs that can be used, including descriptive, analytic, experimental and mixed methods approaches.
Implementation Strategies & Outcomes: Advancing the ScienceHopkinsCFAR
This document discusses implementation science and strategies to advance the field. It begins with definitions of implementation and dissemination research. The document then discusses quality gaps in mental healthcare that implementation research aims to address. It reviews evidence-based interventions and conceptual models for measuring implementation outcomes. The rest of the document outlines theories that guide implementation strategies and provides a compilation of 68 strategies grouped into key processes like plan, educate, finance, restructure, quality management, and policy. It concludes by noting that passive dissemination is ineffective, while training is one of the most commonly used strategies.
Implementation science aims to study methods to promote the uptake of evidence-based practices into routine healthcare. It focuses on evaluating the process of implementation and its impact on the targeted evidence-based practice. Implementation studies commonly employ mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate the process, formative outcomes, and summative impact of implementation strategies. Key outcomes include measures of adoption rates, fidelity, costs and sustainability of implementing evidence-based practices into real-world healthcare settings.

Using alternative scholarly metrics to showcase the impact of your research: ...SC CTSI at USC and CHLA
Date: Feb 7, 2018
Speaker: Caroline Muglia, Co-Associate Dean for Collections and Technical Services; and Head, Resource Sharing and Collection Assessment, USC Libraries
Overview: Scholarship is increasingly being created, disseminated, and measured on digital and social platforms. If Twitter exchanges, Facebook “saves,” and YouTube hits are the new metrics for tracking scholarship, how are we measuring societal and educational impact and outreach? How can researchers display their research impact using social media on promotion and tenure dossiers? This webinar will discuss altmetrics, alternative scholarly metrics that measure the impact and use of scholarship. We will focus on PlumX, the tool used at USC, which combines traditional and new metrics to paint a comprehensive portrait of your scholarly output and its reach in various communities and with different stakeholders.

Introduction to Nursing Research:
Objectives:
Define nursing research
Describe ways of knowing in nursing (tradition, authority, borrowing, trial and error, intuition, and research )
Identify role of a nurse in research as ADN, BS, MS, PhD, and DNP
Explain Evidence Based Practice through research.
Definitions:
Research: It is a systematic, formal, rigorous, and precise process used to gain solutions to problems or discover and interpret new facts and relationships.
Nursing Research: is systemic inquiry designed to develop knowledge about issues of importance to nurses, including nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing administration.
Research-based Practice: using research findings to inform the decisions, actions, and interaction of nurses with clients.
Importance of research in nursing:
Emphasizing on the development and utilization of nursing knowledge, which is essential for continued improvement in patient care.
Nurses' need to document the effectiveness of their practices not only to the profession, but also to the clients, administrators, and other professionals. - (Thus research findings help them to eliminate nursing actions that do not achieve desired outcomes or to identify the practices that alter health care outcomes and contain costs).
Nurses' need for understanding the varied dimensions of their profession, (theoretical, ethical, practical dimensions, etc.)
4. Research enables nurses to describe:
The characteristics of a particular nursing situation about which little is known.
Explain phenomena that must be considered in planning nursing care.
Predict the probable outcomes of certain nursing decisions.
Control the occurrence of undesired outcomes.
Initiate activities to promote desired client behavior.
Roles of nurses in nursing research:
It is every nurse's responsibility to engage in one or more roles along the research participation:
Indirect participation:
This is a minimum nurse involvement in a research responsibility. It is done when a nurse read a research report to keep up-to-date on relevant findings that may affect their practice. This level is called "research utilization".
Research Utilization: "Is the use of the research findings in a practice setting"
2. Direct participation: in which nurses are nursing research producers. They are actively participating in designing and implementing research studies.
3. Between these two dimensions of research participation, there are a variety of roles for nurses to play, from these roles:
Attending research presentations at professional conferences.
Evaluating completed research for its possible use in practice.
Discussing the implications and relevance of research findings with clients.
Giving clients information and advice about participation in studies.
Assisting in the collection of research information.
Nursing research aims to improve the body of knowledge in nursing practice by establishing scientifically defensible reasons for nursing activities and finding ways to increase the cost-effectiveness and quality of care. Developing a research question involves considering personal experiences, national policies, theoretical frameworks, and literature. Factors like resources, time, expertise, ethics, and cooperation influence research problems and their feasibility. Examples of nursing research topics include exploring hospital and hospice nurse cultures and perceptions of death, and observing ritual behaviors in nursing. Future nursing research requires interprofessional collaboration to address complex healthcare problems.
Looking at how health research impacts health programming and policy-making in international development, the African Medical and Research Foundation hosted a discussion highlighting some of the themes laid out in this slideshow.
1) The document discusses agenda setting in the policy process and how clinical practice issues can be moved onto organizational agendas. It provides required readings on stakeholder engagement, policy briefs, and examples of nursing advocacy in policymaking.
2) Students are asked to identify a clinical practice issue for their organization's agenda and propose strategies to inform and persuade stakeholders of its importance using insights from the provided media presentation and readings.
This document discusses evidence-based public health (EBPH). It defines EBPH as the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective programs and policies through applying scientific reasoning principles. The key steps of EBPH include quantifying the public health issue, conducting a literature review, developing and prioritizing program options, creating an action plan, and evaluating programs and policies. EBPH relies on diverse sources of evidence, both quantitative and qualitative research. It differs from evidence-based medicine in its focus on populations rather than individuals and emphasis on environmental and social factors.
This document introduces Integrative Propositional Analysis (IPA), a new tool developed by Steven Wallis to quantitatively assess the probability that a proposed policy will achieve its intended goals. IPA examines the logical structure of policy documents to assign a numerical value forecasting the likelihood of success or failure. The founders of the Center for Analysis of Science in Policy hope to further develop and automate IPA, demonstrate its use during policy creation, and teach policymakers how to use it to identify issues early, compare alternatives, and facilitate bipartisan collaboration. They are seeking funding to hire fellows to perform analyses, attend conferences, and automate the currently manual IPA process.

Evidence Translation and ChangeWeek 7What are the common.docxturveycharlyn
Evidence Translation and Change
Week 7
What are the common barriers to evidence translation in addressing this problem?
There are many barriers when it comes to translating evidence into practice. In regards to obesity, the most common barrier to translate evidence-based changes locally, nationally, and globally are the stakeholders. According to Chamberlain College of Nursing, (2020, translating research into practice relies on the clinician knowing who the stakeholders are and getting them involved in the planning stage and in every aspect of the practice change. Some stakeholders may not be conducive to change. In order to adopt and launch a practice change, the change leader has to be able to sell the project to key stakeholders. For a project leader to get others to go along with a practice change, the leader has to be knowledgeable, motivated, and believe in the research he or she is presenting to the stakeholders.
Additional barriers in translating research evidence into this practice problem would cost, available resources, and timing. For instance, it is less likely for individuals living in a low socioeconomic community to prioritize a 30 minutes time slot five days a week for exercising activities. Barriers like work schedules, family commitment, and financial obligations may impede these practices. The lack of motivation may also be a factor. Most individuals may not have a membership to the local gym, and rain and cold weather may prevent walking in the local park. The lack of appropriate lighting in the parks may fend off participation in outdoor activities in the fall and winter months. According to Tucker, the individuals, the location, and the practice itself and have a huge role in influencing evidence-based practice (2017). For an evidence-based practice to be adapted effectively it must be realistic in all public health settings.
What strategies might you adopt to be aware of new evidence?
I would create an interprofessional group to include clinical and research practitioners to discuss new and upcoming research evidence appropriate to the practice problem. Focus groups both locally and nationally as well as globally are great outlets to discover what is working in different areas of healthcare. Small focus group outlets in which to gather people with the same interest to discuss and present new research (Chamberlain College of Nursing 2020). I would sign up for alerts on new research, evidence-based practice interventions, and quality improvement publications on obesity throughout the country and globally. Tucker indicated that research experts are great resources to look into and introduce the latest pieces of evidence (2017). I also believe an expert Ph.D. colleague would be a great mentor to help guide me in this practice problem intervention. Dang and Dearholt indicated that a team approach between DNP and Ph.D. scholars influenced the best clinical outcome.
How will you det.
Improving practice through evidence not only helps lower healthcare improve.docxwrite4
- Improving healthcare practices through evidence-based research can help lower costs, improve outcomes and safety, and increase job satisfaction for medical professionals.
- It is important to disseminate information about evidence-based practices in order to advance the healthcare system, though it often takes years for research results to be implemented in practice.
- Strategies for disseminating evidence-based practice information include unit-level education, posters, and champions to help reinforce positive results.
HPSR stands for health policy and systems research. It seeks to understand how societies organize themselves to achieve health goals and how different actors interact in the policy and implementation processes to contribute to health outcomes. It is interdisciplinary, drawing from fields like economics, sociology, and public health. HPSR is distinguished by the issues and questions considered rather than disciplinary base. It focuses on both describing health systems and evaluating them, as well as analyzing policies and the policy-making process. The research considers multiple levels from macro to micro. A range of study designs can be used depending on the question.
