Table 2 The priority domains for implementation research

From: Priority domains, aims, and testable hypotheses for implementation research: Protocol for a scoping review and evidence map

Priority domain (acronym)

Brief description

Justification

Implementation strategies (IS)

Strategies used to put into practice a program of known dimensions (e.g., EBP)

[13, 19]

Evidence-based measures of implementation (EBMI)

A measure shown to be predictive of improvement in one or more key HHROs (e.g., client outcomes)

[20]

Health and health-related outcomes (HHRO)

End-points regarding evidence-based process of care, client/patient outcomes, or population outcomes

[13, 21]

Context-related moderators/mediators (CRMM)

Measures of the outer setting/context or inner setting/context that are hypothesized to moderate and/or mediate relationships between the other domains (i.e., IS, HHRO, EBMI)

[14, 15]
