| Course Description | The objective of the course is to provide students with a practical framework to address the implementation bottleneck" that exists in global health. Despite increasing resources invested into health care delivery in low- and middle-income settings, and despite significant knowledge and evidence around effective interventions, successful implementation and scaling of these programs often remains elusive. As a result, many known solutions to health care and health systems problems are not applied, leading to a persistent gap between what is known and what is done in practice, referred to as the “know-do gap” by the World Health Organization. Implementation research, implementation science, or delivery science – all relatively equivalent terms – has potential to redress this gap through the identification of problems or inefficiencies in program implementation, improvement, and scale-up, and the rigorous and systematic application of research methods and practice-based evaluation to these identified problems. |
