Conducting rigorous implementation evaluations in real word settings: lessons from a consensus approach to perioperative pathway implementation for elective surgery
This project provides a practical case study for how to undertake theory-informed, implementation evaluations in real-world contexts. It offers valuable insights for others seeking to operationalise implementation science principles in everyday healthcare settings including how individual strategies may work to drive local change.
