JBI Evidence Implementation Projects since 2014

JBI Evidence Implementation Fellowship Program  

This six-month program is designed to explore strategies to promote effective evidence implementation, with a focus on meso/macro system practice changes. The workshops are aligned with adult learning principles and experiential learning exercises, incorporating feature didactic teachings and opportunities for application.

This program offers participants guided opportunities to explore evidence and acquire skills in the JBI Practice Application of Clinical Evidence Systems (PACES) and Getting Research into Practice (GRIP) software.  The program culminates with the publication of each participant’s Evidence Implementation Report in the JBI Evidence Implementation journal (impact factor: 2.0).   

The overall objectives of this program are to:

  • Describe evidence-based healthcare concepts and how to practice evidence-based healthcare 

  • Describe the basic principles of implementation science 

  • Understand implementation theories, frameworks and models

  • Apply leadership skills that are necessary to implement and sustain a successful evidence implementation project 

  • Develop participants' analytical thinking and writing skills that can improve patient, family and system outcomes 

  • Discuss and tailor strategies to effectively spread evidence from a completed project 

    • Conducting unbiased clinical audits and engaging in quality improvement processes over a nine-month period

    • Implementing frameworks and using software to get research into practice and apply clinical evidence 

During the 6-month fellowship program, participants will use the JBI framework to guide their implementation. To best support the fellows during the program, they will receive mentoring in addition to support from other subject matter experts as needed. JBI Fellows will be expected to disseminate their work through both internal and external efforts.
