Introduction

Evidence about what works in rehabilitation is improving every day. But that evidence is very slow to enter practice, resulting in inequities in patient outcomes, especially in lower-middle income countries and at a systems level. Rehabilitation is complex, as it involves coordination across multiple roles, settings, systems, rehabilitation specialisations and health professionals.

This course, the first of four, is designed to help create a deliberate space to think about how to plan implementation process efforts to adopt, adapt, spread or sustain new interventions. As rehabilitation is recognised as a complex multi-disciplinary process with many moving parts, within complex multi-level healthcare systems and involving multiple professionals, patients, families and care providers, pre-implementation efforts are more important than ever.

Aims

This course aims to overview the steps of pre-implementation to ensure successful adoption of new evidence-based rehabilitation interventions and or practices, especially in low-middle income countries.

It is a fantastic course! Thanks to the instructors and organizers for allowing me to be part of this program. Although it is just week one, I have learned a lot, and now I have a better idea of what I need to consider and ask before implementing a new intervention in my organization. Thanks a lot!
