Application of implementation science for improving the utilization of an international clinical practice guidance on familial hypercholesterolemia

Implementation science evolved into a field of research to accelerate the translation of evidence into practice (1,2). While major advances have been made to reduce the time for evidence to be translated into practice, there has been less progress on improving the uptake of clinical practice guidelines. Several guidelines (3-12) and position statements (13-15) in cardiovascular disease have recommended that implementation science approaches be used to address gaps in care. More recently, models have been developed for guideline contributors to embed implementation recommendations into the guideline development and translation processes (16).
