Implementation, Evaluation, and Quality Improvement Frameworks

This category covers quality improvement frameworks used to plan, implement, and evaluate programs and practice changes. It includes logic models and theory of change for mapping pathways from inputs to outcomes, Donabedian’s structure–process–outcomes for care quality, and the Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle for rapid testing. It also includes implementation science frameworks such as the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, Reach-Effectiveness-Adoption-Implementation-Maintenance, and normalization process theory for sustained uptake.
