Introduction

Change can be challenging, especially in a setting as complex as rehabilitation. Research has found that only half of all new interventions are implemented as intended. Success depends upon proper planning and appropriate implementation strategies for each unique practice setting.

This course, the second of four, is designed to inform the learner on how to select an appropriate implementation strategy and design an implementation plan to maximise facilitation with all involved in the provision of rehabilitation services, embracing the diverse experiences that drive and shape implementation efforts.

Aims

This course aims to simplify the challenges to implementing rehabilitation interventions by being intentional in the design of an implementation strategy.

Outline

This course is made up of videos, reading, forum posts and a final quiz. The course content is split into the following sections:

Video
