Leveraging intermediaries' skillsets to build implementation research and practice infrastructure: a qualitative case study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implementation science as a field is rapidly advancing. Moreover, implementation science plays a pivotal role in driving learning health systems to better realize health outcomes and impact for our communities. Yet, few reports detail the infrastructures that underpin embedding and managing implementation science activities. Furthermore, there is little guidance for designing these infrastructures (people-powered and/or inanimate supports essential for embedding implementation research questions in pilot, spread and scale initiatives) to address local research and practice needs. The Implementation Science Collaborative is one such infrastructure in Alberta, Canada that leverages existing expertise in implementation research and practice to facilitate embedded implementa
