Abstract
Diffusion theory has deeply influenced implementation science and, specifically, language and thinking around practitioners and organizations that do not adopt evidence-based practices. In this Open Forum, the authors address the use of the term "laggard" to characterize this late or nonadopting group and argue for new nomenclature and modernized attitudes and approaches toward this group.Entities:
