Sumario:Nutrition and dietetics practice should be based on the highest-quality and most recent available evidence. Unfortunately, translating research to day-to-day practice often involves long lag times. Implementation science is an emerging field that evaluates methods that promote uptake of research findings into daily practice. Numerous theories and frameworks have been developed to provide guidance for implementation research and operationalization of recommendations. This paper provides a broad overview of implementation science and highlights frameworks such as the Normalization Process Theory that can be used by registered dietitian nutritionist (RDNs) to encourage systematic uptake of evidence into practice.
