Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is a tool used to understand what helps or hinders the successful adoption of new practices or innovations in organizations, such as healthcare. It identifies multiple factors—like the characteristics of the intervention itself, the environment, the people involved, and the process used—that influence implementation. By considering these areas, researchers and leaders can better plan, execute, and evaluate efforts to put new ideas into practice effectively and sustainably.
