Facilitating the transfer and implementation of practices across health and care systems

Abstract The THCS partnership has developed the initial draft of a framework designed to facilitate the transfer and implementation of solutions across health and care systems. During the workshop, we will present this framework along with the preliminary results of its real-world testing in transfer and implementation activities. The goal of this presentation is to gather feedback on the framework and generate ideas for its further development. Choosing to transfer existing solutions rather than developing new ones can offer several advantages in terms of efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Adopting existing solutions can save time and reduce development costs significantly. The THCS framework aims to support, promote, and accelerate the transfer and implementation of solutions across health and care systems. The THCS framework is primarily targeted at individuals involved in planning, coordinating, and executing development activities within health and care organizations. This framework includes: 1) Paradigmatic commitments that underpin its understanding of development activities, transferability, and implementation; 2) Principles for conducting the activities of transferring and adapting solutions developed elsewhere; 3) Guidelines for describing original solutions; and 4) Key development tasks that outline the necessary steps for transferring, adapting, and implementing solutions developed elsewhere.
