Perspectives, Theories and Frameworks Used in Dissemination and Implementation Science

Dr. Melanie Barwick, Hospital for Sick Children and IHPME

The field of KT – otherwise known as Dissemination and Implementation, is replete with theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs). Through this seminar attendees will learn to identify different kinds of DIS TMFs and understand how they relate to one another and inform implementation approaches.
