The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)

The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is a tool that helps researchers and practitioners understand what influences the success of implementing new practices or programs in various settings, such as healthcare or education. It identifies five key areas to consider: the characteristics of the intervention itself, the individuals involved, the organizational context, the community in which it operates, and the broader policy environment. By examining these factors, CFIR helps ensure that changes are successful and sustainable, making it easier to improve services and outcomes for everyone involved.
