As one of the first combined Schools of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH), UW SMPH is a leader in the multidisciplinary study of health and healthcare. The aims of implementation science are fully aligned with the missions of UW-Madison, SMPH, and the UW Health delivery system to translate innovation that advances the Wisconsin idea: using "campus resources to meet the challenges of improving health, well-being, and equity in WI and beyond." Implementation science expertise bridges gaps between research and practice to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery is realized by our hospital, clinics, and community. Implementation science as a discipline includes methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings AND evidence-based practices into routine care, and, hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of healthcare. Implementation science capacity is instrumental for exceptional academic medical centers like ours that aspire to be on the leading edge of innovation and quality.
