Conceptualizing outcomes for use with the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR): the CFIR Outcomes Addendum

🤖 Plain-English Summary

BACKGROUND: The challenges of implementing evidence-based innovations (EBIs) are widely recognized among practitioners and researchers. These distinctions can help bring clarity as researchers consider which outcomes are most appropriate to evaluate in their research.

🔑 Key Findings

• Context, broadly defined as everything outside the EBI, includes the dynamic and diverse array of forces working for or against implementation efforts.
• The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is one of the most widely used frameworks to guide assessment of contextual determinants of implementation.
• The original 2009 article invited critique in recognition for the need for the framework to evolve.
