Published research needs to be used in real-world practice for making a meaningful difference in lives of patients, families, health care professionals, and other individuals whom the research affects. We know from research that it could take about 15 to 17 years for the published research to make it into real-world practice and policymaking, and about 85% of the research is never used in practice. A new scientific field called implementation science deals with designing innovative and effective behavior change methods and techniques for accelerating the transfer of high-quality published research in practice and policymaking.
