CFIR (Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research)

The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is a structured approach used to understand how different factors influence the successful implementation of programs and practices, especially in healthcare. It identifies five key domains: the characteristics of the intervention, the individuals involved, the organization where the change is happening, the context or environment surrounding it, and the process of implementation itself. By examining these areas, researchers and practitioners can better identify what helps or hinders successful implementation, leading to more effective strategies for introducing new ideas and practices in various settings.
