Access to Knowledge & Information

The degree to which guidance and/or training is accessible to implement and deliver the innovation.

The accessibility of guidance, training, and education related to the innovation and its implementation are critical to successful implementation and delivery of the innovation (T. Greenhalgh, Robert, et al. 2004; Dy et al. 2015).

The original CFIR (Laura J. Damschroder et al. 2009) further elaborated on the importance of the ease of access to digestible information about the innovation and how to incorporate the innovation into work tasks (T. Greenhalgh, Robert, et al. 2004; C. D. Helfrich et al. 2007; Klein, Conn, and Sorra 2001; Wallin et al. 2006). The number of different knowledgeable occupational types or specialties who are involved with the implementation is positively associated with effective implementation (Wallin et al. 2006). When timely on-the-job training is available, especially at the team level, implementation is more likely to be successful (T. Greenhalgh, Robert, et al. 2004). Education, training, and access to information about the innovation are all key strategies to move deliverers from unengaged to fully committed users of the innovation (R. P. Grol et al. 2007).
