Article Spotlight: How Implementation Science is Transforming Healthcare Delivery
<p>Join us as we speak with Dr. Katherine Dollar and Dr. Nazanin Bahraini about research from this special issue of Psychological Services, which showcases how implementation science is tackling healthcare's most persistent challenge - the fact that it takes nearly two decades for evidence-based innovations to reach routine clinical practice. Through studies spanning mental health services, suicide prevention, and health equity initiatives, we'll discover how systematic implementation approaches are achieving remarkable results, from 90% training success rates in VA safety planning programs to improvements in serving vulnerable populations. Our discussion will explore some of the critical success factors - contextual adaptation, stakeholder engagement, and organizational support - that are helping to close the research-to-practice gap and transforming patient care across diverse healthcare settings.<a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-47815-001.html " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-47815-001.html </a></p>
