Real-world quantification of implementation dose across twenty-five implementation instances.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are many approaches in implementation science research and practice to prospectively and pragmatically measure the amount of effort required to implement a particular evidence-based practice (EBP). We sought to 1) demonstrate how to prospectively and pragmatically document implementation activities in a real-world implementation trial; 2) quantify implementation dose (frequency and time spent) across the implementation of four EBPs; and 3) explore potential drivers of variation in implementation dose across EBP, sites, implementation progress, and wave.

Methods

We built on the existing literature to develop a prospective and pragmatic way to track implementation activities during a type III hybrid effectiveness-implementation stepped wedge trial. We then qua
