For example, The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement [ 55] developed the 'Spread & Adoption' tool to aid in the assessment of innovation implementation likelihood.
In addition, our results demonstrate the potential for using the innovation implementation framework in healthcare to explain individual level innovations.
For example, if innovation implementation is led by a central government authority, like the MoH, it may be constrained by the rigid management processes of public bureaucracies that do not allow flexibility or take account of local context during implementation.
OMRU is an interactive model designed for the evaluation of KT innovation implementation.
Through this analysis we were able to extend the literature concerning the use of the innovation implementation framework as well as provide practical suggestions for managers considering implementing an innovation.
The conceptual model for this study is based on Klein and colleagues' innovation implementation framework which specifics the antecedents of complex innovation implementation [ 7, 16].
It is important to quantitatively examine the innovation implementation framework as it will allow for a more precise examination of proposed hypotheses as well as will allow researchers to compare results across settings, samples, and innovations.
Third, our work contributes to the still scarce but very promising health services research literature that challenges a traditional functionalist approach and emphasizes the important role to be played by sensemaking organizational processes for successful organizational innovation implementations [ 35] and health care reforms [ 36].
In order to get there, we also suggest possible methodologies for innovation, development, and implementation.
Birdi et al. (2010) [1] predicted environmental support for innovation would influence idea generation and implementation, which was not supported, however as predicted, some of the measures of job-relevant capabilities were better predictors for idea implementation than training.
