WHAT IF THE KEY TO A HEALTHIER FUTURE LIES IN THE SHARED KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENCE, TRANSCENDING BORDERS AND UNITING HUMANITY? The power of collaboration in clinical research fuels innovation, breaking down barriers to harness diverse insights and expertise. When researchers, healthcare professionals, and communities come together, they create solutions that benefit everyone. By emphasising collaboration, we can ensure that scientific advancements reach every corner of the globe, improving health outcomes and fostering a brighter future for all. As Louis Pasteur emphasised, science knows no borders. #ScienceForAll #GlobalHealth #ClinicalResearch #Innovation

Clinical Research is where science transforms into solutions and data transforms into progress. Let's remember that each insight we gain is a step closer to a world of improved health and well-being. 🚀💡 #Science #ClinicalResearch #HealthcareAdvancement

Exploring Implementation Science: A Dive into CFIR and RE-AIM Frameworks: In the realm of implementation science, two key frameworks stand out for guiding the successful translation of research into practice: the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the RE-AIM framework. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) provides a comprehensive taxonomy of constructs that might influence implementation success. It organizes these into five domains: 1. Intervention Characteristics - The qualities of the intervention itself, like complexity or relative advantage. 2. Outer Setting - The economic, political, and social context beyond the organization. 3. Inner Setting - The structural, political, and cultural contexts within the organization. 4. Characteristics of Individuals - The roles, knowledge, and attitudes of individuals involved in implementation. 5. Process - The activities or strategies undertaken to execute the implementation.   The RE-AIM Framework, on the other hand, focuses on evaluating the public health impact of interventions through five dimensions: 1. Reach - The absolute number, proportion, and representativeness of individuals who participate in an intervention. 2. Efficacy or Effectiveness - The impact of the intervention on important outcomes, including potential negative effects, quality of life, and economic outcomes. 3. Adoption - The absolute number, proportion, and representativeness of settings and intervention agents who are willing to initiate a program. 4. Implementation - At the setting level, fidelity to the intervention, adaptations made, and the consistency of delivery. 5. Maintenance - The extent to which a program or policy becomes institutionalized or part of the routine organizational practices. Understanding these frameworks can significantly enhance the success of health interventions by offering structured approaches to assess, plan, and evaluate implementation strategies. #ImplementationScience #CFIR #REAIM References: 1.      https://lnkd.in/gxcHR9tu 2.      https://lnkd.in/g_MXxqtw

🎉 Following the celebration of Dr Judy Moodley’s graduation, I would like to share our publication. Titled- "Strategic Resilience and Competitive Edge in Durban's Healthcare: Navigating Through Pandemic Disruptions,"co-authored with Judy.This paper was published in June of 2024 in the Journal Business & IT. In this study, we explore how Durban's healthcare sector responded to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a mixed-methods approach, we identified adaptive strategies, such as strategic partnerships, digital transformation, and supply chain resilience,that have been crucial in navigating these turbulent times. Our findings highlight the importance of agile strategic planning and stakeholder collaboration in not only addressing immediate challenges but also in positioning organizations for future growth. We hope this research contributes to the ongoing dialogue around strategic management in crisis conditions. 🔗 Read the full text here: https://lnkd.in/dBHW-hsU Thank you to everyone who supported this journey! #Healthcare #StrategicResilience #COVID19 #Research

Abstract submission for #EAPC2025 is now open!!

Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) science uses 3 main frameworks to help guide research and practice: determinant, process, and evaluative, says Stanford’s Dr. Mark McGovern. Here's how each one works and how providers can use them: •Determinant Frameworks These focus on things that help or stop new programs from being successful. For example, a provider could use this framework to figure out problems like not enough staff training, too few resources, or patients not wanting to try something new. By spotting these problems, they can find solutions, like offering more training or making the program more patient-friendly. •Process Frameworks These focus on the steps needed to introduce a new treatment or program. Providers can use this framework to plan, take action, and adjust as needed. For example, a clinic might plan how to roll out a new treatment, get feedback while it's happening, and then make changes to improve it. •Evaluative Frameworks These help measure if a program or treatment is working. Providers can track things like patient health or how much money is saved to see if it’s successful. If the results aren’t what they want, they can make changes to improve things.

We congratulate Stefan Gaillard and Martijn van der Meer who have been listed in the Forbes 30 under 30 list for Science and Healthcare in Europe, in recognition of co-founding the Journal of Trial and Error. The Journal of Trial and Error was established in 2018 by Stefan and Martijn, together with fellow students of the History and Philosophy of Science master programme here at the Freudenthal Institute/UU. The independent diamond open-access journal redefines failure and rethinks scientific success – and currently has four issues published and a readership of 16,000+ people. The Journal of Trial and Error aims to close the gap between what is researched and what is published. Researchers are encouraged to publish ‘’failing’’ results, as those can actually be very useful for other scientists - if only to prevent other researchers from making the same mistake again.
