Die Implementationsforschung operationalisiert Schritte einer erfolgreichen Umsetzung von Forschungsergebnissen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird das Konzept der Implementationsforschung jenseits von Konzepten der praktischen Umsetzung und der erzielten Evaluationsergebnisse betrachtet. Hierzu wird eine Taxonomie von acht konzeptionell unterscheidbaren Outcomeparametern vorgeschlagen: Akzeptanz, Übernahme, Angemessenheit, Machbarkeit, Wiedergabetreue, Kosten, Durchdringung und Nachhaltigkeit. Das Konzeptualisieren und Ermitteln von Implementationsergebnissen tragen dazu bei, die Effizienz der Implementationsforschung zu erhöhen und den Weg für ein besseres Verständnis von Umsetzungsstrategien zu ebnen.


Implementation research: Basic concepts

Implementation research operationalizes the steps required for the successful implementation of research findings. This article will examine the concepts of practical implementation and evaluation results independently. For this purpose a taxonomy of eight conceptually distinct outcome parameters of implementation is proposed: acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, implementation cost, penetration, and sustainability. Determining and measuring implementation outcomes contribute to increasing the efficiency of implementation research and pave the way for a better understanding of implementation strategies.
