So tell us about models, theories and frameworks and how those formal structures are needed to do this kind of research to really study how to integrate midwifery well into U.S. health care.

So theories, models, and frameworks is a term that's used interchangeably in implementation science.
12:16
And the way I think that we can think about them as clinicians is sort of like a care bundle or a checklist.

When you're thinking about any kind of implementation, successful or not successful, but when you're thinking about we want to get people to do this thing, these are the things they should consider.
12:47
And so what we can do in practice is thinking about when we want to look at, like, let's say we have a setting that we're like, this is a great setting.
