What was done
This narrative review outlines the background, theoretical principles, and major frameworks of dissemination and implementation science. It discusses considerations for study design and highlights current examples of applying these frameworks within surgical research.
What was found
The abstract reports no primary quantitative findings or experimental results. It cites the background statistic that less than 15% of research is translated into practice and routine adoption can take up to 17 years.
Why it matters
This paper provides an overview of how surgical researchers can leverage structured implementation science frameworks to bridge the gap between evidence generation and routine clinical adoption.
Limits
This is a conceptual review that presents no original empirical data, quantitative measurements, or systematic synthesis. Specific search strategies, study selection criteria, and comparative outcomes are not reported in the abstract.
