Workshop on Implementation Science in Health Care
Research is a powerful tool that can make a real difference in healthcare. Ensuring important findings gain traction in the real world is key to enabling dynamic, evidence-based healthcare. Professor Jeffery Braithwaite, Founding Director of the Australian Institute of Health Innovation at Macquarie University, is a leader in health services and systems research with global reach.
This workshop covers the concepts of implementation science, sometimes described as the way to ensure a good idea gets put into practice.
It is the scientific study of methods to promote the systemic uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services.
The workshop was led by a team of researchers including Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite and Prof Frances Rapport, A/Prof Yvonne Zurynski and Gaston Arnolda from Macquarie University.
There was opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.
