IMPACT at the EIE2023
The European Implementation Event 2023, co-hosted by the European Implementation Collaborative (EIC) and IMPACT, was successfully held on June 8 and 9 at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel and at the Hotel Odelya. The interest in the important European conference of implementation science was great, weeks before the event was already fully booked. IMPACT hosted a session on “Learning from each other, building capacity for implementation science and practice in European countries.” At the IMPACT booth, IMPACT members provided information about networking opportunities and the webinar series.
Neuer SAMW Bericht zur Implementierungswissenschaft publiziert
Nur ein Bruchteil wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse gelangt in die klinische Versorgungspraxis zum Nutzen von Patient:innen. Die Implementierungswissenschaft hat zum Fokus diesen Forschungs-Praxis-Transfer zu unterstützen und die Wirksamkeit von Gesundheitsdienstleistungen nachhaltig zu verbessern. Die Schweizerische Akademie der Medizinischen Wissenschaften (SAMW) hat die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Lucienne Rey beauftragt, die Kernbotschaften der ersten IMPACT Konferenz in einem Bericht festzuhalten. Dieser Bericht ist ein weiterer Meilenstein auf dem Weg, die Implementierungswissenschaft in der schweizerischen Forschungslandschaft zu etablieren.

This conference stems from the Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), a European collaborative action launched to join forces to address medication adherence in European health care systems: “European Network to Advance Best practices & technoLogy on medication adherencE” (ENABLE) CA19132. Switzerland is part of this COST action among 38 other European countries. Please find further information in the program.
Prof. Dr. Sabina De Geest has been appointed to the Editorial Board of the journal Implementation Science
Implementation Science is a pioneering, highly-accessed journal dedicated to publishing evidence regarding methods for promoting the uptake of consolidated research findings into routine healthcare practice and health policy.
The Opening Conference had a great IMPACT
Interesting keynote speeches, interactive polls and expert discussions. The audience was international and numerous: 237 participants from 25 countries followed the event live. The video of the opening event can be viewed by clicking on the image to the left. The successful launch of IMPACT will be followed by a virtual masterclass series with five masterclass sessions in the weeks between 27 January and 3 March 2021. In each of the masterclass sessions, international experts will present both the theoretical foundations of implementation science and practical examples of Swiss implementation projects.
Lecture on Implementation Science
In the fascinating lectures series “Zeitreise der nationalen Entwicklung in der Pflege” of the Kantonspital Aarau, Prof. Dr. Sabina De Geest gives an insight into the significance of implementation science and its value for nursing practice: Wie die Implementierungswissenschaft die Leistung der Pflege bei der Entwicklung, Implementierung und Evaluation innovativer Pflegemodelle für die Praxis stärken kann
New publication out now
The most recent publication: Powering Swiss health care for the future: implementation science to bridge “the valley of death” reflects the viewpoint of including Implementation Science as an integral element in Swiss health research and announced the launch of IMPACT: https://doi.org/10.4414/smw.2020.20323
European Implementation Collaborative
Dr. Thekla Brunkert (IMPACT co-founder) has been elected to the board of the European Implementation Collaborative (EIC).
