Implementing Evidence & Improvement
• Aim:– To advance theory and methods on the co-production and
implementation of applied health research into practice
• Approach:– To support the Applied Health Research Themes to co-design
and implement applied health research– To understand and appraise the approaches used to implement
research in practice
• Applied research – testing interventions in real-world situations
• Co-production – where research teams and practitioners work together to design and implement research
• Implementation – putting something into practice
• Implementation research – understand how best to put something into practice

Putting the Implementing Evidence & Improvement
Theme in Context
• Co-Design & Engagement Activities
• Knowledge Brokers
• Innovation & Research Networks
• Dissemination
• Capacity Building
Support Research Co-Design
Evaluating the adoption of technological innovations
• Several CLAHRC Studies are applying & testing technologies to improve health outcomes
• This project aims to understand the spread & uptake of health technologies in different practice settings
• Comparing technology use across clinical settings
• Generate wider lessons on the implementation of technologies• How brokers & networks affect the implementation of technologies
IEI Study 1: Technological Innovations
Understanding the design and implementation of educational interventions
• Several CLAHRC studies are proposing educational interventions to change professional & patient behaviours
• This project aims to understand how these programmes are designed, developed & applied in different settings
• What pedagogies inform the programme design?
• Generating wider lessons on education innovations– How knowledge brokers can support appropriate design and engagement
IEI Study 2: Educational Innovations
Utilising Learning & Evidence to inform System Change
• The longer term aim of the CLAHRC is to inform sustained service improvement based upon the learning from individual studies
• This project aims to understand how the different forms of evidence & learning generated across CLAHRC projects are used by commissioners, providers & partners
– What forms of evidence are most relevant to commissioners?
• Generating wider lessons on sustainable, system-wide improvement– How dissemination strategies reach different audiences
IEI Study 3: System Change
• How knowledge brokers work across different clinical-research settings to support co-design
• How innovation networks are formed, developed & sustained across the region
• How best to develop an evidence-base that is used in practice
Cross-cutting Doctoral Studies
• Comparative Learning on applied health research
• Formative Learning on implementation of specific intervention types
• Formative Learning on the future scaling and spread of interventions
The IEI Goals
• IEI Workshops Today…
• Implementing Evidence & Improvement Workshop (Graham Martin)
• Using Evidence to Improve Health Services & Care (Bridget Roe & Alison Seymour)
• Building Research Capacity in the East Midlands (Emma Rowley)
