Abstract
This chapter will provide a definition and description of the emerging field of Implementation Science. It will describe the use of a predominate and practical set of frameworks, named the Active Implementation Frameworks (AIF), to offer readers some considerations and strategies for improving implementation systems and quality of implementation for any evidence-based practice. Then this framework will be used to discuss the implementation of Collaborative Problem Solving.
