Implementation Science Work Group
Detailed attention to the methods and strategies employed in pragmatic clinical trials is important to facilitate the uptake of evidence-based practice and research into regular clinical use. With the aim of improving health and well-being of service members and veterans, the Implementation Science Work Group supports the pragmatic trials in developing and integrating the latest dissemination and implementation methods, as well as practices that facilitate the uptake of evidence-based findings into healthcare settings. The collective work across the projects will help inform policy guidance and best practices for the military and veteran health care systems.
