Implementation science is the study of factors that influence the full and effective use of innovations in practice (Blase, Van Dyke, Fixsen, & Wallace Bailey, 2012). Implementation science independent variables are produced on purpose so their predicted effects can be evaluated in practice in attempts to test hypotheses derived from implementation theory.

Implementation science will progress more rapidly when there is an approximation to common concepts, common language, and common concepts that promote more precise communication about implementation across disciplines and domains. Common measures are required if science is to advance more rapidly.
