However, the determination and commitment of the implementers ensured overall timeliness of implementation.
It will certainly present the same problems as other types of research, and most obviously, findings of implementation research need to be taken up by the implementers to close the gap between evidence generated by the implementation researchers and practices.
The first phase involved building the capacity of the implementers with the necessary skills to implement the intervention.
We also discuss the lessons learned by the implementers in how to design and implement this type of strategy that involves closely working with rural communities.
(2) Did the implementers follow the protocol (i.e., implemented with fidelity?)? (3) What barriers were discussed in the phone calls?
In addition, it helps to bridge the research-implementation gap by bringing research findings closer to the implementers and policy makers (48).
In this framework, implementation fidelity is measured by the extent to which the implementers adhere to the intervention as intended by the designers.
8 From the implementers of the intervention, we received information about when the programme was implemented (month and year) for each hospital.
(KI 5) A final research question that emerged from the interviews, related specifically to the implementers themselves, was the question of how best to incentivize provider behavior towards implementing interventions to scale (KIs 3,5,13).
"They will be the implementers".
"They were the designers, the legitimizers, and the implementers," Raymond said.
