Understanding what drives successful program implementation is essential for sustaining impact. In this seminar, Mr Rudge will present methods and findings from a large, multi-method evaluation of barriers and enablers to scale up the Australian Hepatitis C Point-of-Care Testing Program. Highlighting tools such as the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change, and an innovative AI-assisted sentiment analysis system, it demonstrates how implementation science can support learning at scale in large health programs.
