Model implementation can refer to the process of translating an abstract model into computer code, or the process of introducing a model into an organization.
- In software engineering
- An implementation model is a collection of components and subsystems that define the physical parts of an implementation. It also identifies the units that can be deployed, replaced, or versioned separately.
- In risk management
- Model implementation is the process of translating a risk model and its specification into computer code. This process is usually done by technically skilled model developers.
- Purpose of an Implementation Model
An implementation model serves as a strategic framework that guides the process of translating research findings or evidence-based practices into routine practice within a healthcare setting. The purpose of an implementation model includes:
- Guidance: It provides a structured approach to plan, execute, and evaluate the implementation process.
- Efficiency: It helps in identifying the most effective strategies to ensure that the new practice is adopted as intended.
- Problem-Solving: It assists in anticipating and addressing potential barriers to implementation.
- Evaluation: It offers a way to measure the success of the implementation and the impact on patient outcomes and organizational processes.
- Sustainability: It ensures that the changes made are maintained over time and become part of the standard practice.
