The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR): progress to date, tools and resources, and plans for the future

Results 347 published articles cited the CFIR, with an average of growth rate of four additional articles per week; fiftyone were original research, protocols, or syntheses. Recommendations were extracted from these articles and used to inform updates for CFIR V2. Refinements will include improved clarity in definitions for existing constructs, addition of new constructs, and better framing of the purpose and uses of CFIR. The CFIR website was significantly redesigned with the addition of new tools and resources including: 1) an interview guide creation tool; 2) links to a periodically updated bibliography of articles applying the CFIR; 3) two published quantitative measures related to organizational change mapped to CFIR constructs; 4) in-depth guidance on how to apply the CFIR; and 5) plans for the future. A demonstration of the publically available website will be provided along with the URL.
