Abstract
This paper presents a brief review of organizational measures related to implementation of new practices and technologies in sectors other than mental health, and discusses potential application of these measures to mental health implementation research. A few standardized organizational measures are presented along with considerations regarding the appropriateness of adapting existing measures rather than creating novel ones or using additional methodologies. Challenges and opportunities for researchers in measuring key organizational constructs related to implementation in mental health settings are discussed.
