This movement has been catalyzed by a need to create context relevant evidence of maximal utility to health service provision and policy. The concept of \u201cco-implementation\u201d has potential to inform and extend these discussions of partnership and to complement the growing literature on collaborative implementation. Attending to this concept may preempt conceptual confusion and provide opportunities for sustainable and context-responsive embedded research necessary for the strengthening of health systems. In this perspective article, I seek to advance the discussion of co-implementation through an examination of the concept and through consideration of it merits to the health sciences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frhs.2023.1068297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]],"date-time":"2023-12-20T08:28:15Z","timestamp":1703060895000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Co-implementation: collaborative and concurrent approaches to advance embedded implementation in the health sciences"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Mandy M.","family":"Archibald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1186\/s12961-018-0337-6","article-title":"How to engage stakeholders in research: design principles to support improvement","volume":"16","author":"Boaz","year":"2018","journal-title":"Health Res Policy Syst"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1186\/s13012-018-0784-z","article-title":"Engaging patients to improve quality of care: a systematic review","volume":"13","author":"Bombard","year":"2018","journal-title":"Implement Sci"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"CD005470","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD005470.pub3","article-title":"Tailored interventions to address determinants of practice","volume":"4","author":"Baker","year":"2015","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1186\/s12910-015-0072-2","article-title":"Co-design and implementation research: challenges and solutions for ethics committees","volume":"16","author":"Goodyear-Smith","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMC Med Ethics"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1186\/s12961-020-00558-0","article-title":"Lost in the shadows: reflections on the dark side of co-production","volume":"18","author":"Williams","year":"2020","journal-title":"Health Res Policy Sys"},{"key":"B6","author":"Metz","year":"2015","journal-title":"Implementation brief: the potential of co-creation in implementation science"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1186\/s12961-020-0528-9","article-title":"Research co-design in health: a rapid overview of reviews","volume":"18","author":"Slattery","year":"2020","journal-title":"Health Res Policy Sys"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"902","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.13470","article-title":"Mapping definitions of co-production and co-design in health and social care: a systematic scoping review providing lessons for the future","volume":"25","author":"Masterson","year":"2021","journal-title":"Health Expect"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2229","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17072229","article-title":"What is the co-creation of new knowledge?
