MIM PROCESSES

Practices seem to be "influenced by fads and fashions that are adopted overenthusiastically, implemented inadequately, then discarded prematurely in favor of the latest trend.”

Walshe & Rundall (2001) reporting on health systems

"All organizations are designed, intentionally or unwittingly, to achieve precisely the results they get.“

R. Spencer DarlingFounder of the Leadership Institute,

Chicago

“There is an eager emphasis on growth. Instead…

What doesn’t work…

• Dissemination of information by itself • An adoption decision is not

implementation• Training alone, no matter how well done, • Implementation by edict • Implementation by “following the money”• Implementation without changing

supporting roles and functions

Paul Nutt (2002). Why Decisions Fail

• The usability of a program has little to do with the quality or weight of the evidence regarding that program

• Evidence about intervention effectiveness for specific populations helps us choose what to implement

• Evidence about the effectiveness of the intervention does not help implement the program or practice successfully

What does work…

A mission-oriented process involving multiple decisions, actions, and corrections

Implementation as a process, not an event

Successful and sustainable implementation of evidence-based practices and programs always requires organizational change.
