The next ReSNetSLT Tweetchat will take place on Wednesday, 30th January, (7.30-8.30pm UK time).
The chat will be hosted by Hazel Roddam (@HazelRoddam1) Sally Morgan (@sallymorganslt) and Sai Bangera (@bangerasai) and is based on this paper: Fostering implementation of health services research findings into practice: a consolidated framework for advancing implementation science.
You may find the supplementary figures useful too e.g. Figure 1: HERE.
Do you ever read about a new approach/intervention then try to use it at work and struggle to do so? Implementation science covers a wide range of systematic approaches to provide frameworks to evaluate the factors that influence the successful and effective application of evidence-based practice changes.
In one of our 2018 Tweetchats we looked at an introduction to this extensive research field as well as recommending a number of helpful resources (see previous Tweet chat link HERE for an introduction.
The paper for this month’s discussion describes the development of one model (the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, CFIR) for planning to introduce a new approach/intervention in healthcare.
The CFIR model draws on a range of earlier models to explain the factors that should be considered when implementing research evidence-based changes into a healthcare setting. The paper has been extensively cited, is being used within many areas of healthcare, and has its own website HERE.
The Tweetchat will be based around these questions:
- Can you give any examples from your own work setting where you could potentially use the CFIR model?
- What factors in the CFIR model do you think could be relevant as potential facilitators or barriers to introducing a new intervention in your own workplace?
- What are the key constraints for undertaking evaluation of new interventions or new ways of working in your setting? See figure 1 (additional file 1) that illustrates the complexity of introducing new interventions into healthcare
- What new actions might you take in your own workplace after reading this paper?
