Abstract

Implementation science is a nascent field that aims to study the factors that influence the effectiveness of a given clinical intervention, such as the characteristics of the individuals involved, the internal and external settings, the process of implementation, and other factors. Overall, implementation science aims to increase the extent to which an intervention is practiced, and the quality of its delivery to a patient. Although still in its infancy, the applications of implementation science in anesthesiology and cardiothoracic surgery abound. Whether used to adopt novel innovations, avoid the use of obsolete practices, or redeploy existing interventions to improve quality, implementation science holds promise in optimizing how we bring the latest in clinical science to produce tangible benefits to patients and create sustainable change.
