RIISE Module 2; Implementation Strategies

Definitions and examples of key terminology

What are implementation strategies?

Methods or techniques used to enhance the adoption, implementation, sustainment, and scale-up of a program or practice

Types of strategies (overview) definition

Implementation strategies range from those that are very targeted and time-limited to more complicated and extensive processes with many moving parts. Many implementation experts differentiate between discrete strategies and multifaceted strategies. To be most impactful, strategies should be selected that target high-priority implementation determinants (i.e. barriers or facilitators)

Discrete strategies definition

single actions or processes

Multifaceted strategies definition

combination of multiple discrete strategies;

multiple implementation strategies delivered at the same time may accumulate, amplify, converge, or facilitate each other to maximize effects

Example of discrete strategy

Example of multifaceted implementation strategy

Accumulation definition

strategies at different levels produce a cumulative impact on a common mediating pathway or set of mediating pathways
