Each year the PBI Network collaborates with Military Health System stakeholders to develop and conduct implementation pilots designed to identify the feasibility and acceptability of an evidence-based clinical practice. Additionally, solutions to any implementation challenges that could impede successful uptake and sustained use of the practice change are developed.

PBI Network Implementation Approach

The PBI Network uses a systematic implementation approach to design and conduct pilots. This approach consists of six coordinated steps that can be tailored to meet the needs of each implementation pilot.

1. Engage - Solicit feedback from stakeholders on opportunities to support the readiness and psychological health of active duty service members. 
2. Translate - Examine relevant research and data for evidence-based approaches to support pilot implementation. 
3. Disseminate - Increase knowledge of practice change via in-person knowledge sharing, live or virtual trainings, and distribution of implementation support resources.
4. Implement - Facilitate, adapt, and monitor pilot implementation in order to understand the feasibility of sustained adoption.
5. Evaluate - Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the implementation process and outcomes with stakeholders.
6. Sustain - Develop a plan to support sustainment of the newly adopted practice at participating sites and throughout the MHS.
