Symposium Presentation

Abstract

Within the larger context of healthcare transformation, nurse scholars are crafting revitalized roles in both implementation research and implementation practice. The foci of these roles are overlapping and have hybridized into new models and activities that reflect quality improvement, change management, development of pragmatic research design and methods, and establishment of practice facilitation activities in healthcare delivery. The basics of implementation science will be described and demonstrated through case study analysis.

Description

Overall Symposium Summary: A panel of Implementation Science experts developed strategies to expand nursing leadership, research, and practice in Translational Science. This symposium will (1) highlight the need to integrate nursing perspectives into implementation science and (2) engage nurse scholars in refining strategies for leveraging national resources in healthcare transformation. Recommendations on theories, methods, and strategies for practice change and research through a nursing lens will be sought.

Implementation Science as Common Ground for Researchers and Practitioners

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Within the larger context of healthcare transformation, nurse scholars are crafting revitalized roles in both implementation research and implementation practice. The foci of these roles are overlapping and have hybridized into new models and activities that reflect quality improvement, change management, development of pragmatic research design and methods, and establishment of practice facilitation activities in healthcare delivery. The basics of implementation science will be described and demonstrated through case study analysis.
