EBSIS

Evidence-based system for implementation supports (EBSIS) is a framework for supporting the implementation support practitioner and implementation teams. This framework highlights the need for different types of supports. This is true at the implementation team level and for implementation support practitioners. These four supports are:

  • Tools – having access to paper-based and online tools that they can use to help facilitate conversations, enhance planning, and navigate challenges.

  • Training – to provide the foundational knowledge and skills in implementation, science, and other relevant areas

  • Coaching or technical assistance – ideally more experienced people to turn to for advice, support, and feedback as they navigate unexpected challenges and implementation.

  • An assessment of implementation quality – when sites implement new programs, we want to know whether they are implementing them with high-quality (for example, with fidelity). Similarly, we want to know whether implementation support practitioners are providing high-quality implementation supports. Imagine how we could enhance our supports if there were implementation quality metrics that were being collected as implementation support practitioners provided support.
