12. MIM PROCESSES

13. Practices seem to be "influenced by fads and fashions that are adopted overenthusiastically, implemented inadequately, then discarded prematurely in favor of the latest trend.” Walshe & Rundall (2001) reporting on health systems

14. "All organizations are designed, intentionally or unwittingly, to achieve precisely the results they get.“ R. Spencer Darling Founder of the Leadership Institute, Chicago

15. “There is an eager emphasis on growth. Instead…

16. What doesn’t work… Dissemination of information by itself An adoption decision is not implementation Training alone, no matter how well done, Implementation by edict Implementation by “following the money” Implementation without changing supporting roles and functions Paul Nutt (2002). Why Decisions Fail

17. The usability of a program has little to do with the quality or weight of the evidence regarding that program Evidence about intervention effectiveness for specific populations helps us choose what to implement Evidence about the effectiveness of the intervention does not help implement the program or practice successfully

18. What does work… A mission-oriented process involving multiple decisions, actions, and corrections Implementation as a process, not an event Successful and sustainable implementation of evidence-based practices and programs always requires organizational change. National Implementation Research Network (NIRN) (Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005)

19. MIM EQUATION Effective educational practices Effective implementation practices Good outcomes for students Adapted from National Implementation Research Network (NIRN) (Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005)

20.
