Research estimates that simply attending a live training for a new clinical practice results in only about a 5% transfer of learning to practice. Research also indicates that by following the precepts of implementation Science (IS), an organization’s goal of achieving sustainable, high-fidelity implementation of an evidenced-supported practice is greatly enhanced. Stars Training Academy Consultant/Trainers apply specific tools and strategies based on IS. For example, we recommend that you assess your organizational readiness, and take steps to prepare your organization in advance of trainings. And, we support and encourage follow-up services after trainings such as in-vivo technical assistance, competency-based coaching and rapid improvement cycles, among others to support successful implementation.
