In the absence of strong evidence, awaiting experimental work in this area, we believe that opening a discussion about the relevance and importance of theory may help stimulate the design of experiments that will provide evidence to support the utility or lack thereof of linkage to theory. As we note in Fig. It is likely that the inapplicability of current theory is related to the lack of a sustained effort to create and build the feedback loop.
There will be cases in which it becomes clear that there are inadequate tools, instruments that link assessment, measurement, and theory together, or inadequate theory. However, many researchers in this field are working collaboratively to develop instruments and tools. PRocess modelling in ImpleMEntation research is an excellent example of this type of work.
Their focus is on the individual or dyadic level; similar ventures are needed at higher levels, and across levels, because almost no interaction in health care is free of organizational context. The conclusions reached are the responsibility of the authors; the Department of Veterans Affairs does not endorse the statements and conclusions drawn in this paper.
Examples include the theory of reasoned action 41 — 44 ; theories of cognitive dissonance 45 — 52 ; stages of change 53 — 55 ; Roger's Diffusion of Innovation Theory 32 ; Social Cognitive Theory 56 — 61 ; and Social Influence Theory.
A heuristic framework that joins theory to some specific state or action that is desired or is to be taken. In our construction, models are more specific and concrete than theory, and can usually be shown in a diagram or picture, while a theory may or may not lend itself to graphic display. Models can also be more or less elaborate, but should contain specific elements derived from theory that either predict action or outcome, or contribute in some way to achieving the desired change.
Articulate how to go from the skeleton, in an anatomic analogy, to the physiology of actually making change occur, and may include several different interventions. The specific steps that translate both model and strategy into action. There are numerous examples within the literature of types of interventions, ranging from types that require re-engineering the delivery system to single-shot educational interventions. Concrete items such as educational pamphlets or pocket cards used within an intervention to facilitate the desired action and outcome.
They are often highly specific to the intervention, content, and context of the intervention, and may be useful in other studies and contexts, but usually not without considerable tailoring and adjustment.

Abstract This paper presents a case for careful consideration of theory in planning to implement evidence-based practices into clinical care.

Open in a separate window. CHOOSING TOOLS Tailoring an intervention to a specific context requires development of tools that are usually very specific to the intervention, to the content of the desired change, and frequently to the context in which the intervention will take place.
Intervention Design and Theoretical Underpinnings A central component of the ATIP intervention was the use of physician opinion leaders as key motivators of change within the clinics that participated in the study. Study Results and Conclusions Study findings showed that the ATIP intervention improved antipsychotic prescribing in concordance with guideline recommendations and also reduced pharmacy costs for antipsychotics.

These sorts of sales tactics do more than just help them to close individual sales; they help to generate additional prospects for future sales.
Effective sales processes are not just about working hard and putting in long hours. In fact, many sales teams work long and hard without experiencing results. Effective sales strategies involve employing the best strategies in the right situations.
Here are 18 sales tactics that can work for sales teams in every industry. According to the latest sales research, 80 percent of sales transactions require 5 interactions after the first contact with a customer. Many salespeople are primarily concerned with immediate sales. If they do not get the sale at the first meeting, they silently give up and continue their hunt for the next immediate sale. However, savvy sales professionals understand that they must nurture viable leads until an action is taken.
By taking this action, your customers will think of you when it is time to make their next purchases. There are many sales professionals who do not fully understand their roles in the transaction. Consider this fact. As many as 70 percent of your leads are reaching out to you to solve their problems.
When customers contact your sales team, your sales professionals must be able to demonstrate to them how they can quickly and easily solve their problems.
Customers have access to pages of information on the internet. In many instances, they may be as knowledgeable as your sales team. When sales professionals interact with knowledgeable customers, they might be tempted to talk constantly to show them that they are qualified. It is important to remind your salespeople that they should never get into a knowledge power struggle with customers. Sales professionals should always listen more than they talk.
The goal is to make customers feel as if they are respected throughout the sales process. Your sales team should always strive to present themselves in a positive light and use professional language. There is nothing that screams unprofessional like using derogatory terms to discuss other people or companies. Although customers may participate in the negative conversation , bad mouthing any person or company is never a good sales tactic. If a competitor does not have a good reputation, the members of your sales team should remain neutral.
In fact, 91 percent of customers will provide a referral contact to a salesperson that they like. Before you think about asking your customers for referrals, you should focus on providing them with a quality customer service experience.
What was the difference? How to we get from dull and boring to buzzing? Planning for engagement is the secret sauce. You want people to learn something, or be able to do something after they get off the line — and we all know that when a session is engaging and interactive the odds are greater people will learn something. How to make this happen? Do you have a favorite webinar activity that keeps people with you?
Please share those tips in the comments. For the most part your slides should be mini-activities, not info dump. The key to engaging conversation is to provoke thought, and to do this in a virtual setting the questions must be open-ended and specific. Raise your hand if you know. This is also a slightly different paradigm than in the classroom, where many times people will just shout it out if they know it. In a virtual setting, ask people to raise their hands. Come back and raise your hand when you have the answer.
You can use this technique to ask for volunteers as well. Have the participants brainstorm on the whiteboard. You can then do a screen grab and email the brainstorm list to the participants after the session is completed. This is a great way to get people involved.
One way to use polls is to allow your audience to choose the learning path. Here are your choices:. By using Polleverywhere you can run surveys, create polls to check for understanding, or create competitions. Go to their website for tons of ideas. Comments: 3. Tagged: practice.
