This session will provide a comprehensive introduction to implementation science, emphasizing its importance in bridging the gap between evidence and practice. It will provide an overview of various models, theories, and frameworks used in implementation science, and how they guide the design, execution, and evaluation of implementation projects. Additionally, the session will explore the critical role of collaboration with patient and public community partners in implementation projects.
The SickKids Interact-North virtual parenting program seeks to address this gap by integrating clinical care and research to provide family-centered care with a precision mental health strategy.
This presentation will explore the journey of the program through four unique perspectives. By using an implementation framework, we will share how shareholders—from families to clinics, research teams to training programs—are working together to drive impact. The goal is to move the program towards long-term sustainability at SickKids and beyond.
In this session, a panel of experts will discuss how to form advisory groups that meaningfully contribute to research. Topics will include timing, strategies for authentic engagement, and structuring collaborative committees.
