Development of an instrument (Cost-IS) to estimate costs of implementation strategies for digital health solutions: a modified e-Delphi study
Donovan T, Abell B, McPhail S, Carter H
Implement Sci . 2025 Mar; 20(1):13. PMID: 40055802
Background: It is important to determine the relative value of health innovations when allocating limited healthcare resources. Implementation strategies require and consume healthcare resources yet are often excluded from published...

Evidence based QUality Improvement for Prescribing Stewardship in ICU (EQUIPS-ICU): protocol for type III hybrid implementation-effectiveness study
Wagstaff D, Amausi J, Arfin S, Aryal D, Mat Nor M, Bonney J, et al.
Implement Sci . 2025 Feb; 20(1):12. PMID: 40001051
Background: Approximately half of all antimicrobial prescriptions in intensive care units (ICUs) may be inappropriate, including those prescribed when not needed, in unnecessary combinations or for longer durations than needed....

Rollout trial designs in implementation research are often necessary and sometimes preferred
Simon G, Garner B, Smith J, Wyman P, Matson T, Chin-Purcell L, et al.
Implement Sci . 2025 Feb; 20(1):11. PMID: 39994781
Background: Rollout designs, which include stepped wedge designs, are defined by staggered implementation of new or alternative programs or services. Critiques of stepped wedge and other rollout designs have raised...

Outcome preferences in fidelity-adaptation scenarios across evidence-based parenting programs: A discrete choice experiment
Pettersson K, Millroth P, Giannotta F, Liedgren P, Lyon A, Hasson H, et al.
Implement Sci . 2025 Feb; 20(1):10. PMID: 39966975
Background: Implementing evidence-based parenting programs often involves navigating fidelity-adaptation decisions. While research has explored various aspects of this dilemma, little is known about how practitioners' outcome preferences influence their decisions...

Training and education provided to local change champions within implementation trials: a rapid systematic review
Jolliffe L, Lannin N, Larcombe S, Major B, Hoffmann T, Lynch E
Implement Sci . 2025 Feb; 20(1):8. PMID: 39910625
Background: Translating research into clinical practice is challenging. One implementation intervention that supports translation is employment of a change champion. It is important to understand how individuals are prepared for...

Assessing the comparative effectiveness of ECHO and coaching implementation strategies in a jail/provider MOUD implementation trial
Molfenter T, Vechinski J, Kim J, Zhang J, Meng L, Tveit J, et al.
Implement Sci . 2025 Feb; 20(1):7. PMID: 39901259

Looking under the hood of a hybrid two-way texting intervention to improve early retention on antiretroviral therapy in Malawi: an implementation fidelity evaluation
Klabbers R, Feldacker C, Huwa J, Kiruthu-Kamamia C, Thawani A, Tweya H
Implement Sci . 2025 Jan; 20(1):6. PMID: 39844335
Background: While key to interpreting findings and assessing generalizability, implementation fidelity is underreported in mobile health (mHealth) literature. We evaluated implementation fidelity of an opt-in, hybrid, two-way texting (2wT) intervention...
