There are several evidence-based implementation strategies available, including educational outreach visits, audit and feedback, printed educational materials, and e-learning. For the Journal of Nursing Care Quality, we urge authors to incorporate and provide detailed information on implementation science frameworks, methods, and strategies into their projects and publications.
