Description of implementation mapping steps

Description
Step 1. Conduct a needs assessment Gather data and engage partners to understand their needs and sources of support related to implementation
Step 2. Identify implementation determinants and outcomes Determine the factors (e.g., barriers and facilitators) influencing implementation; determine the implementation-related goals that partners want to accomplish
Step 3. Select implementation strategies Identify the methods and techniques that will leverage implementation facilitators and overcome implementation barriers to achieve stated goals
Step 4. Produce and deploy implementation strategies and materials Develop and provide materials, resources, equipment, and processes that will support implementation.
Step 5. Evaluate implementation outcomes Gather data to assess the extent to which implementation strategies led to changes in target goals.
