In addition, the degree to which bedside providers accepted prompting from the remote screeners is unclear. The authors do not present data on the frequency with which prompting led to changes in patient management or how often the prompted bedside nurse communicated with the rest of the multidisciplinary team. Prompting that is removed in time and space from the point at which a patient is first eligible for an intervention may be less effective. This may explain the lack of improvement in some processes of care, hospital-acquired infections, and mortality. Ultimately, the mechanism of improvement remains unclear, and it is possible that some of the improvement observed resulted from a Hawthorne effect of providers knowing their care was being examined. Implementation studies should attempt to understand not only whether an intervention works but also the mechanisms driving change. It is unreasonable and dangerous to expect critical care providers to remember to use all evidence-based practices in a system as complex and evolving as the ICU. Indeed, even strongly evidence-based care, such as lung protective ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome, remains underimplemented (2). When this occurs, we fail to most effectively achieve the promise that clinical trials of these therapies demonstrate. Implementation science aspires to fill this void. The work by Kahn et al (9) is an important step in the maturation of implementation science interventions from the impersonal and distant to the more direct. They take advantage of telemedicine technology and couple this technology with newer implementation strategies focused on near real-time, point-of-care interventions, such as prompting. This merger of technology and strategy may help achieve an efficient balance between the advantages of bedside prompting (real-time direct intervention) and the advantages of telemedicine (centralization and scalability). Studies such as this one by Kahn et al (9) will help us learn more about which implementation methods most effectively translate evidence-based therapy into clinical practice.
