Need

The degree to which individual(s) has deficits related to survival, well-being, or personal fulfillment, which will be addressed by implementation and/or delivery of the innovation.

Aims, wishes, and needs are important to assess for all constituents (Breimaier et al. 2015) (see Implementation Process: Assessing Needs), and the level of awareness of recipient and deliverer needs is an important implementation determinant (Godbee et al. 2020; Dy et al. 2015). Within healthcare delivery settings, consideration of patient needs must be integral to any implementation that seeks to improve patient outcomes (Institute of Medicine 2001).
