Abstract
A potential new arena that could lead to major advances in implementation science involves the integration of computational and technologic approaches with behavioral and organizational sciences. While some attention has been given to the use of systems science methods, specifically agent-based modeling, social network analysis, and system dynamics, there is actually a much broader set of tools that could be used to improve adoption, assessment of fidelity, and sustainability. This panel provides a broad perspective and illustrates how such tools can aid implementation especially given the unique challenges in the prevention field.
