Implementation Science

mplementation Science is an emerging and complex field that primarily focuses on planning, influencing and/or evaluating the adoption of evidence-based practices.1 Evidence of the growing interest in implementation science methods is a 2020 special issue of the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science devoted to Dissemination and Implementation Sciences.2 This issue contains substantive and relevant summaries of current implementation research challenges and the state of the evidence around implementation frameworks and methods, stakeholder engagement strategies, operational and community partnerships, and implementation trial design.In this topical review, we summarize highlights from stroke-related implementation studies published in 2020, organized across the clinical spectrum of stroke care, to illustrate best practices, synthesize lessons learned, and identify implementation tools and methods that may be relevant to the cerebrovascular community.
