ABSTRACT

In this chapter, three examples of the use of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) are described. CFIR is a determinant framework that was developed with the aim of identifying barriers and facilitators (i.e. determinants) of implementing evidence-based practices into physical clinical settings although it has also been used in many other contexts. CFIR draws on 19 existing theories, models and frameworks. The framework consists of five types of determinants, referred to as domains, each of which consists of a number of sub-domains: Innovation domain; Outer setting domain; Inner setting domain; Individuals domain; and Implementation process domain.
