OUR APPROACH

Implementation Science in
Real-World Settings

G-ACT advances equitable cardiovascular care through the application of implementation science within real-world health systems.

Our Work

Our work focuses on generating rigorous, decision-relevant evidence on how proven cardiovascular diagnostics, therapies, workforce development strategies, and care delivery models can be effectively adopted, integrated, and sustained within routine clinical practice, particularly in resource-constrained and underserved settings.

Rather than introducing parallel or short-term interventions, G-ACT embeds research and innovation directly within existing health system structures. This approach allows us to evaluate feasibility, effectiveness, implementation performance, and scalability under real-world conditions while accounting for workforce capacity, infrastructure constraints, financing realities, and policy environments.

The resulting evidence is designed to strengthen health systems, inform policy decisions, support responsible scale, and accelerate equitable access to evidence-based cardiovascular care.

This approach is operationalized through the A-DICE Framework, which structures G-ACT's implementation science and health-system transformation agenda across four integrated pillars of impact: Expanding cardiovascular access within communities; Building diagnostic capacity through training and technology; Connecting patients to specialty expertise and treatment and Generating evidence to improve and scale health systems.

Core Principles

Our implementation science and health-system transformation approach is built on a set of guiding principles that shape how we design, evaluate, and scale cardiovascular care solutions across diverse healthcare environments.

Real-World Integration

Embedding research directly within existing health system structures rather than introducing parallel interventions.

Rigorous Evidence

Generating decision-relevant evidence on feasibility, effectiveness, and scalability under real-world conditions.

System Strengthening

Accounting for health system constraints, workforce capacity, and policy environments to inform sustainable scale.
