PY - 2013 DA - 2013/04/11 TI - Improving the normalization of complex interventions: measure development based on normalization process theory (NoMAD): study protocol JO - Implementation Science SP - 43 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Understanding implementation processes is key to ensuring that complex interventions in healthcare are taken up in practice and thus maximize intended benefits for service provision and (ultimately) care to patients. Normalization Process Theory (NPT) provides a framework for understanding how a new intervention becomes part of normal practice. This study aims to develop and validate simple generic tools derived from NPT, to be used to improve the implementation of complex healthcare interventions.
