In this synchronous online course, implementation experts will guide participants in developing a systematic approach to implementing evidence-based practices (EBP) within healthcare settings. Recognizing that implementation is often the most challenging phase of an EBP initiative, this program integrates theories, frameworks, and strategies from implementation science to increase the likelihood of meaningful and sustainable success.
Participants will explore how to apply course concepts to real-world clinical scenarios while identifying specific EBP initiatives for implementation. You will learn how to assess your clinical environment for facilitators and barriers, select science-informed strategies to address these challenges, integrate existing quality improvement (QI) mechanisms, and operationalize components within a comprehensive implementation plan.
Methods of instruction & evaluation:
This accelerated hands-on training will take place online in a live, synchronous learning environment over the course of two days:
