Implementation science has been gaining traction over the last decade to support health care systems in adopting and sustaining evidence-based interventions, programs, and policies. Given the inherent complexity of implementation research and practice, and their associated methodologies, implementation scientists play a central role in translating research into practice. However, many health care system stakeholders often struggle to understand how best to collaborate with implementation scientists. This commentary discusses the significant benefits of such collaboration, outlining ten critical actions drawn from the collective experience of 25 implementation scientists with over 173 years of combined expertise. This project was conducted under the SPHERE Implementation Science Platform, as part of the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research and Enterprise (SPHERE).The ten recommendations for working with an implementation scientist to optimize implementation efforts include the following: (1) involve implementation scientists early during intervention design, (2) recognize the unique nature and value of implementation science data, (3) integrate implementation assessments into the research plan, (4) foster collaborative partnerships inclusive of implementation science, (5) differentiate between factors affecting implementation and wider constraints, (6) work with implementation scientists to address implementation challenges, (7) prioritize implementation scale and sustainment, (8) embrace that implementation requires continuous learning and adaptation, (9) promote knowledge exchange between implementation science and subject matter experts, and (10) focus on capability- and capacity-building for implementation within the system. By following these recommendations, researchers, clinicians, decision-makers, and implementation scientists can foster impactful collaborations that enhance the translation of research into clinical practice and improve the quality of health care delivery.
在过去十年中，实施科学越来越受到关注，以支持医疗保健系统采用并维持基于证据的干预措施、项目和政策。鉴于实施研究与实践及其相关方法的内在复杂性，实施科学家在将研究转化为实践方面发挥着核心作用。然而，许多医疗保健系统利益相关者常常难以理解如何最好地与实施科学家合作。本评论讨论了这种合作的显著益处，概述了25位实施科学家累计超过173年专业经验总结出的十项关键行动。该项目是在SPHERE实施科学平台下开展的，作为悉尼健康、教育、研究与企业合作组织（SPHERE）的一部分。与实施科学家合作以优化实施工作的十条建议如下：（1）在干预措施设计早期就让实施科学家参与进来；（2）认识到实施科学数据的独特性质和价值；（3）将实施评估纳入研究计划；（4）促进包含实施科学的合作性伙伴关系；（5）区分影响实施的因素和更广泛的限制因素；（6）与实施科学家合作应对实施挑战；（7）优先考虑实施规模和持续性；（8）认识到实施需要持续学习和适应；（9）促进实施科学与主题专家之间的知识交流；（10）关注系统内实施的能力建设。遵循这些建议，研究人员、临床医生、决策者和实施科学家能够促成有影响力的合作，加强研究向临床实践的转化，提高医疗保健服务质量。
