If you’ve ever wondered how to go about measuring and evaluating the effect of new instructional approaches on learners, learning outcomes, and ultimately, the patients for whom your students care, implementation science may provide an answer. Read a recent article in Nurse Educator that describes how three phases for implementing evidence-based practices (development, translation, and sustainment) provide a framework for implementing educational evidence from the literature into your classroom and evaluating its impact. This article outlines a process and provides practical examples for moving evidence into classroom practices and developing more effective teaching strategies.
