Implementation Science: What is it and why is it important?

Theresa H. Cruz, PhD 
Research Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics,
Deputy Director, UNM Prevention Research Center,
University of New Mexico, Albuquerque

Implementation science is the study of how to translate research evidence into routine practice and policy in the fields of health care and public health in order to improve outcomes at the population level. Historically, substantial time passes between the discovery of a research innovation and the regular use of that innovation – a gap between research and practice. Implementation science is used to bridge this gap by identifying how new treatments, interventions, policies and practices are implemented in the real world, and studying strategies that can be used to increase adoption and wide-spread use.
