Implementation science expertise bridges gaps between research and practice to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery is realized by our hospital, clinics, and community. Implementation science as a discipline includes methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings AND evidence-based practices into routine care, and, hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of healthcare.
