Globally nurses comprise the largest health care workforce and nursing interventions can positively impact health care delivery, clinical, and economic outcomes. There are approximately 9 million nurses worldwide.(World Health Organization) Despite efforts to promote evidencebased nursing, there is a gap between research findings and clinical practice. Indeed, while the nursing research enterprise provides an increasing body of evidence of valuable interventions that could be applied in clinical practice, only a fraction is translated into real world clinical settings to address pressing clinical needs of patients and populations. The following numbers substantiates this observed ‘gap’. Overall only one-third of strong evidence waiting on academics’ bookshelves and is ever implemented in clinical practice.(Balas & Boren, 2000) Although there is insufficient information on sustainability of successfully implemented interventions, it is estimated that it takes an average of 17 years to move an efficacious intervention from inception towards system sustainability.(Balas & Boren, 2000) A distinct yet related problem, are missed opportunities for de-implementation of practices that we know are harmful or ineffective.(Kleinman & Mold, 2009) Consequently, we squander research efforts and fail to provide cutting-edge clinical care. Bridging this evidence-to-clinic gap would dramatically increase the impact and relevance of nursing research. One way to restore the bridge is through implementation science.Implementation science, which has been defined as,“the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and, hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services and care”(Eccles & Mittman, 2006), is a way to inform and energize the translational pipeline. The different points in the translational pipeline–starting from observational studies and moving from efficacy to effectiveness to implementation studies—have different approaches and goals.
