Are you having an impact on impact?

After much angst and debate, be it resolved that…

1. Impact is a permanent feature of the academic research enterprise

2. Impact is important beyond the managerial/accounting imperative

3. Impact must be patient centric in health research

4. Impact models must be scalable

5. Impact models must be more than conceptual frameworks

6. Impact models must span the processes from research to impact

including an uptake/adoption phase

7. Impact planning must be specific to each case, generic frameworks

are only the beginning

Now therefore, does your impact model…

1. Accommodate and enable collection of evidence for patient benefit?

2. Support engagement of end users (incl. patients, policy, service

providers) throughout?

3. Work at the level of the project, the program, the organization, the

system?

4. Enable planning by providing general logic informing specific

adaptation?

5. Drive uptake/adoption?
