Stepwise development of an implementation protocol to support the prescription of Exercise = Medicine by clinicians using the Implementation Mapping approach
This study illustrates the application of Implementation Mapping to design an implementation protocol to support and guide the prescription of E = M by clinicians in the hospital environment, using strong stakeholder participation in the development process. The stepwise development of the implementation protocol can serve as an example for researchers or practitioners preparing for E = M implementation.
