In the Leading Change Toolkit, users are encouraged to integrate components of two implementation frameworks: Social Movement Action and Knowledge-to-Action to accelerate a change initiative. In some cases, change agents and change teams may determine that they prefer to start by using one framework first and then later add components of the other framework. In this section of the Leading Change Toolkit, a decision tool is provided to help support decision making regarding which framework to start using first. 

The section of the Leading Change Toolkit that describes the content of the three main sections focused on two implementation frameworks - Social Movement Action and Knowledge-to-Action - and on engaging persons with lived experience.   

In this action cycle phase, the implementation of the best practice is considered in the context of the setting and whether any modifications are needed to make the practice change.     

In the action cycle phase of the Knowledge-to-Action Framework, actions are taken to determine the barriers and facilitators to achieving best practices. 

In this action cycle phase, the outcomes of the change initiative are measured to determine the impact. 

In this action cycle phase, strategies to support a practice change are selected and tailored to the local context and its identified barriers and facilitators.  

Spectrum Health Care, a Best Practice Spotlight Organization® (BPSO®) and home health organization, evaluated care outcomes after implementing the Person- and Family-Centred best practice guideline (BPG). 

In this action cycle phase, strategies are implemented to support the practice change after the outcomes have been evaluated and determined to be effective.
