35 The goal of these health care community training and educational opportunities is to substantially change the nature of practice, by determining the best practices for implementation as well as for dissemination of the best practices -- what works and what does not in implementation of the practice and in the dissemination of the practice to the full medical community. The Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation is an approach also used within the medical community that stresses the capacity of the organization and individuals to accommodate and perform implementation.
