Implementing Evidence & Improvement

• Aim:– To advance theory and methods on the co-production and

implementation of applied health research into practice

• Approach:– To support the Applied Health Research Themes to co-design

and implement applied health research– To understand and appraise the approaches used to implement

research in practice

• Applied research – testing interventions in real-world situations

• Co-production – where research teams and practitioners work together to design and implement research

• Implementation – putting something into practice

• Implementation research – understand how best to put something into practice

Putting the Implementing Evidence & Improvement

Theme in Context

• Co-Design & Engagement Activities

• Knowledge Brokers

• Innovation & Research Networks

• Dissemination

• Capacity Building

Support Research Co-Design

Evaluating the adoption of technological innovations

• Several CLAHRC Studies are applying & testing technologies to improve health outcomes

• This project aims to understand the spread & uptake of health technologies in different practice settings

• Comparing technology use across clinical settings

• Generate wider lessons on the implementation of technologies• How brokers & networks affect the implementation of technologies

IEI Study 1: Technological Innovations

Understanding the design and implementation of educational interventions

• Several CLAHRC studies are proposing educational interventions to change professional & patient behaviours

• This project aims to understand how these programmes are designed, developed & applied in different settings

• What pedagogies inform the programme design?

• Generating wider lessons on education innovations– How knowledge brokers can support appropriate design and engagement

IEI Study 2: Educational Innovations

Utilising Learning & Evidence to inform System Change

• The longer term aim of the CLAHRC is to inform sustained service improvement based upon the learning from individual studies

• This project aims to understand how the different forms of evidence & learning generated across CLAHRC projects are used by commissioners, providers & partners

– What forms of evidence are most relevant to commissioners?

• Generating wider lessons on sustainable, system-wide improvement– How dissemination strategies reach different audiences

IEI Study 3: System Change

• How knowledge brokers work across different clinical-research settings to support co-design

• How innovation networks are formed, developed & sustained across the region

• How best to develop an evidence-base that is used in practice

Cross-cutting Doctoral Studies

• Comparative Learning on applied health research

• Formative Learning on implementation of specific intervention types

• Formative Learning on the future scaling and spread of interventions

The IEI Goals

• IEI Workshops Today…

• Implementing Evidence & Improvement Workshop (Graham Martin)

• Using Evidence to Improve Health Services & Care (Bridget Roe & Alison Seymour)

• Building Research Capacity in the East Midlands (Emma Rowley)
