Background

entity who formally influence or facilitate intervention decisions in a desirable direction

Examples of implementation strategies where external change agents have essential role:
use an improvement/implementation advisor
conduct educational outreach visits
conduct ongoing training
external facilitation
External change agent usually responsive for delivering the implementation strategy →
related to intended strategy and its ultimate success in achieving desired organizational
changes
