Key implementation work and outcome constructs
| Construct | Definition |
|---|---|
| Implementation Work | |
| Coherence | The work agents (stakeholders) do to attribute meaning to an intervention and make sense of its potential within their context and their role in relation to it |
| Cognitive Participation | The work agents (stakeholders) do to legitimize and enroll (engage) themselves and others into an intervention and frame how participants become members of the related community of practice |
| Collective Action | The work agents (stakeholders) do to mobilize skills and resources and enact the intervention and frame how participants realize and perform the intervention in practice. |
| Reflexive Monitoring | The work agents (stakeholders) do to assemble and appraise information about the effects of the intervention and utilize that knowledge to reconfigure social relations and actions. |
| Implementation Outcomes | |
| Feasibility | The extent to which a new treatment, or an innovation, can be successfully used or carried out within a given agency or setting |
| Acceptability | The perception among implementation stakeholders that a given treatment, service, practice, or innovation is agreeable, palatable, or satisfactory |
| Appropriateness | The perceived fit, relevance, or compatibility of the innovation for a given practice setting, provider, or consumer; and/or perceived fit of the innovation to address a particular problem |
