    Designing for Dissemination and Sustainability to Promote Equitable Impacts on Health

    Authorship: Bethany Kwan, et. al.
    Designing for dissemination and sustainability (D4DS) refers to principles and methods for enhancing the fit between a health program, policy, or practice and the context in which it is intended to be adopted. In this article we first summarize the historical context of D4DS and justify the need to shift traditional health research and dissemination practices. D4DS design processes include stakeholder engagement, participatory co-design, and context and situation analysis, and leverage methods and frameworks from dissemination and implementation science, marketing and business, communications and visual arts, and systems science.

    Using Iterative RE-AIM to enhance hospitalist adoption of lung ultrasound in the management of patients with COVID-19: an implementation pilot study

    Authorship: Anna Maw, et. al.
    Conclusion: Mandating use of a strategically selected subset of clinicians may be an effective strategy for improving Reach of LUS. Additionally, use of Iterative RE-AIM allowed for timely adjustments to implementation strategies, facilitating higher levels of LUS Adoption and Reach. Future studies should explore the replicability of these preliminary findings.

    Applying an equity lens to assess context and implementation in public health and health services research and practice using the PRISM Framework

    Authorship: Meredith Fort, et. al.
    We present guidance for applying PRISM with an equity lens across its four context domains (external environment; multi-level perspectives on the intervention; characteristics of implementers and intended audience; and the implementation and sustainability infrastructure – as well as the five RE-AIM outcome dimensions - and present an example with health equity considerations.

    Using Implementation Mapping to develop protocols supporting the implementation of a state policy on screening children for Adverse Childhood Experiences in a system of health centers in inland Southern California

    Authorship: Mónica Pérez Jolles, et. al.
    In this paper, we describe how Implementation Mapping was used to engage diverse stakeholders and guide them through a systematic process that resulted in the development of the implementation strategy. We also detail how the EPIS framework informed each Implementation Mapping Task and provide recommendations for developing implementation strategies using EPIS and Implementation Mapping in health-care settings.

    Rural Cancer Advisory Board

    Sep 7, 2022
    The Rural Cancer Advisory Board is currently comprised of 9 women from all over the state. While not experts in healthcare, they are experts in rural living with a variety of backgrounds such as ranchers, teachers, and regional health connectors. The primary purpose of the group is to provide insight, feedback, and recommendations to cancer researchers from a rural patient and caregiver perspective. Our research advisors are volunteers. They have varying levels of experience with cancer; some personally, some as family caregivers, and some as community support. The group meets every other month in a virtual format. Please contact Adreanne Brungardt for more information, including if you would like to present your research study for input from these patient advisors – Adreanne.brungardt@cuanschutz.edu

    Improving Lives by Uniting Audiology and Implementation Science

    Jul 28, 2022
    We are proud to feature a new article authored by Dr. Christina R. Studts, an ACCORDS D&I scientist, that shows how implementation science can be used in the field of audiology to increase the public health impact of evidence-based audiological practices and interventions. Audiology, like other health disciplines, has a large gap between when research discoveries are made and when (or if) they are adopted in usual practice. Dr. Studts highlights recent publications in audiology to show how the use of implementation science principles and approaches can close the research-to-practice gap and promote equitable, broad delivery of evidence-based interventions to ensure high-quality hearing care and improve function and quality of life for audiology patients.

    Economic Evaluation in Implementation Science

    Oct 5, 2022
    The collection is designed to bridge the fields of implementation science, health services research, and health economics to improve comparisons across implementation studies for informed decision-making. Given that costs are often a perceived barrier to implementing new evidence-based interventions, greater understanding of costs and economic evaluation more generally may help optimize uptake of evidence-based implementation strategies and interventions.
