      ab: Aim: The aim of this paper is to provide insights into conducting an implementation needs assessment using a case example in a less-research-intensive setting. Design and methods: In the case example, an implementation needs assessment was conducted, including (1) an environmental scan of the organization's website and preliminary discussions with key informants to learn about the implementation context, and (2) a formal analysis of the evidence–practice gap (use of sedation interruptions) deploying a chart audit methodology using legal electronic reports. Results: Our needs assessment was conducted over 5 months and demonstrated how environmental scans reveal valuable information that can inform the evidence–practice gap analysis. A well-designed gap analysis, using suitable indicators of best practice, can reveal compliance rates with local protocol recommendations, even with a small sample size. In our case, compliance with the prescribed practices for sedation interruptions ranged from 65% (n=53) to as high as 84% (n=69). Conclusions: Implementation needs assessments provide valuable information that can inform implementation planning. Such assessments should include an environmental scan to understand the local context and identify both current recommended best practices and local best practices for the intervention of interest. When addressing an evidence–practice gap, analyses should quantify the difference between local practice and desired best practice. Impact: The insights gained from the case example presented in this paper are likely transferrable to implementation research or studies conducted in similar, less-research-intensive settings. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A257
