To celebrate #WorldEBHCDay, @JBIEBHC developed a #Tweetorial on our approach to facilitation as an essential component of @JBIEBHC evidence #implementation strategy. @alexamcarthur1 @kylie_porritt (1/9)

Achieving practice changes using the @JBIEBHC evidence #implementation framework requires facilitation skills that include the ability to articulate a purpose and an action plan; inform, motivate and persuade others; solicit support; and foster team development. (2/9)

@JBIEBHC facilitation capitalises on a strategic partnership between evidence #implementation researchers (external facilitators) and frontline clinicians (internal facilitators) who drive the practice change based on a solid understanding of the local context. (3/9)

Key roles of @JBIEBHC external facilitators include providing technical research support, developing evidence summaries and other evidence-based resources, offering as-needed mentoring, being a sounding board, validating ideas/solutions and assisting with problem solving. (4/9)

Key roles of @JBIEBHC internal facilitators include driving change in practice, adapting evidence into local practice, fostering group dynamics, keeping staff informed about the evidence #implementation project, mentoring clinicians and maintaining regular communication. (5/9)

Individual traits linked to effective @JBIEBHC facilitation: excellent communicator, patient, approachable, friendly, credible, open-minded, flexible, driven. Ensuring appropriate people are assigned to the role can optimise outcomes of @JBIEBHC #implementation initiative. (6/9)

Communication is critical. @JBIEBHC external and internal facilitators set aside and protect a meeting time through all the phases of the project. Conversations are about trouble shooting, problem solving or discussing planned (& unplanned) strategies for changing practice. (7/9)

@JBIEBHC establishes a network of experienced facilitators through a connected community of clinical leaders and implementation researchers who share their experiences as they continue their work on quality improvement. This level of engagement is a key strategy for #EBHC. (8/9)
