Assessing research impact is important for individual research projects and broader research programs. It lets you see what’s worked, what hasn’t, and most importantly, allows you to measure, monetise and describe the difference that your research has made to knowledge, policy, society and the economy. More than ever, governments, funding bodies and universities want evidence … <a title="Assessing the impact of health and medical research" class="read-more" href="https://implementationscience.com.au/event/assessing-the-impact-of-health-and-medical-research/" aria-label="Read more about Assessing the impact of health and medical research">Read more</a>

We have joined forced with the Cancer Implementation Science Community of Practice to present this interactive webinar on Friday 23 April.

The Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health (D&I), co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health and AcademyHealth, helps realize the full potential of evidence to optimize health and health care by bridging the gap between research, practice, and policy

With the increasing presence of, and reliance on, digital health interventions in the health care system: are we making health inequities better, or worse?

Speakers discuss the value of engaging stakeholders early in implementation research and provide practical examples and guidance for clinicians and researchers looking to do the same.

Recorded at ISHCA 21, this session explored how to balance patient and clinical outcomes with implementation outcomes in implementation science protocols. Presenters reflected on the different factors that influence outcome choice, including team input, funding opportunities, as well as stakeholder receptivity and measurement availability. 

Recorded at ISHCA 21, this session provides a grounding in some of the contemporary issues and challenges of implementation science

Hear from public health and implementation experts about why health equity is an important consideration in implementation research.

Professor Nick Sevdalis’ and Professor Sandy Middleton discuss their experiences of working in implementation science and implementing interventions in often complex health systems at ISHCA 21.

Before starting your implementation science research, you first need to identify and demonstrate a need for change.

Professor Julie Leask’s presentation focuses on building a resilient COVID-19 vaccination system. It looks at what is ahead with the pandemic and the vaccination for COVID-19. Professor Leask also discusses what would make a successful vaccination program by looking back at what we already know about high vaccination uptake.

As part of New South Wales’ response to COVID-19, the Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) established a critical intelligence unit (CIU) to keep abreast of new developments and aid health care leadership in decision-making. The CIU was a new organisational entity which brought together clinical, analytic, research, organisational and policy experts to provide timely and … <a title="The COVID-19 Critical Intelligence Unit in New South Wales" class="read-more" href="https://implementationscience.com.au/resource/the-covid-19-critical-intelligence-unit-in-new-south-wales/" aria-label="Read more about The COVID-19 Critical Intelligence Unit in New South Wales">Read more</a>

The traditional view of the pathway from research to practice suggests linear development of interventions emerging from basic science insights, testing of those interventions through specific stages of investigative trials, publication of those results, and then consideration of how the interventions may be adopted, implemented and sustained in clinical and community systems of care.

Masks, schools, contact-tracing, quarantine, ventilation, vaccines. Policymakers said they were “following the science” – but the science was contested, sometimes aggressively and even violently. Research progressed at unprecedented pace and scale; too little knowledge quickly became too much. A few questions were resolved, but many were not. “Facts” were not merely value-laden; time after time … <a title="Politics, Post-Truth Science and COVID-19" class="read-more" href="https://implementationscience.com.au/resource/politics-post-truth-science-and-covid-19/" aria-label="Read more about Politics, Post-Truth Science and COVID-19">Read more</a>
