Innovation Cost

Innovation costs, including transaction costs (Leeman et al., 2019), can be a significant barrier to implementation if they are perceived to be too expensive or unaffordable. The original CFIR elaborated further 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 & Logan, 2004; Teplensky et al., 1995).

Qualitative coding guidelines that are aligned with the Updated CFIR will be added in the near future.

Inclusion Criteria

Include statements related to the cost of the innovation.

Exclusion Criteria

Exclude statements related to money, physical space, and time and code to Available Resources.

As we become aware of measures, we will post them here. Please contact us with updates.
