Abstract
Although recent advances have improved understanding of what it takes to successfully implement and sustain evidence-based practices (EBPs) in communities and to transform health care systems, there remains a dearth of knowledge regarding methods for measuring and subsequently evaluating these efforts. Recognizing the complexity of the process, which involves planning, training, quality assurance, and interactions among multiple stakeholder groups, the Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) was developed.

Introduction recent advances have improved understanding of what it takes to successfully implement and sustain evidence-based practices (EBPs) in communities and to transform health care systems, there remains a dearth of knowledge regarding methods for measuring and subsequently evaluating these efforts
Advancing the Field Discussion will highlight the value of having a standardized measure to compare outcomes across practices, evaluations, and fields, yet will describe the loss of sensitivity moving from practice-specific to universal measurement
The Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) is an 8-stage tool that maps onto three phases of implementation, and was developed as part of an implementation trial to assess sites’ implementation process behavior and obtainment of milestones
