Note: This construct captures the cost of the innovation, not the resources available in the Inner Setting to implement and deliver the innovation.
Innovation costs, including transaction costs (Jennifer Leeman et al. 2019), can be a significant barrier to implementation if they are perceived to be too expensive or unaffordable. The original CFIR (Laura J. Damschroder et al. 2009) elaborated on this construct, stating that the cost to purchase, subscribe, or use the innovation, including training costs associated with the innovation, is an important adoption and implementation determinant (Graham and Logan 2004; Teplensky et al. 1995).
