Implementation Research and Practice
Russell Glasgow, PhD, Research Professor of Family Medicine at CU Anschutz, co-authored an Implementation Research and Practice publication in the Sage Journals, titled “Making Implementation Costing More Accessible: Initial Transdisciplinary Guidance for Researchers and Practitioners.”
From the article:
“Despite an increased interest in implementation costs, there is little to no practical guidance on how to conduct implementation cost evaluations. Recommendations, tools, and examples are needed to incorporate reliable and feasible costing approaches into implementation studies and guidance on when an economist is necessary. To this end, we identified key issues and developed this paper and a guide on pragmatic approaches for assessing and reporting implementation costs.
Key to ensuring any program's successful adoption, implementation, and sustainment is understanding the costs and resources required. Costing implementation in the “real world” is both an art and a science; teams must make decisions about give-and-take related to precision and burden on participants and the research team while still producing generalizable estimates. Transdisciplinary costing guidance can address these issues and provide details and resources to help pragmatically cost and report implementation efforts.”
