Clinical Implementation to Optimise Outcomes

This collection of Brain Impairment papers focuses on Clinical Implementation to Optimise Outcomes. We chose this topic for a special collection to highlight ways to address the often slow and inconsistent implementation of new evidence into the delivery of care, support, and rehabilitation services for people with brain conditions. Research has shown it may take ~15 years for evidence to have an impact on clinical practice. Brain injury clinicians can actively contribute to closing this gap by providing invaluable insights into potential challenges faced and ensuring that the design and implementation approaches address organisational context. This Collection of papers outlines the processes, frameworks, barriers, and facilitators of effective clinical implementation. They showcase high-quality examples of clinical implementation projects in a range of populations, settings, and cultures across the lifespan. In each of the Collection papers, implementation efforts were guided by established knowledge translation or implementation science frameworks, often applied in novel ways to suit specific contexts faced by brain injury clinicians. We hope these papers can usefully inspire ongoing efforts to implement evidence-based interventions and service models to optimise outcomes for people with conditions affecting the brain.
