Implementation of innovations is therefore shaped by actions of care professionals within these organisational contexts, and aimed to modify the behaviour and work relationships of care professionals, which is called relational restructuring (May et al., 2016). Moreover, in these changing organisational contexts, healthcare professionals may need to adapt conventions, rules, work structures, and resources, a process which is called normative restructuring. The degree to which care professionals can stretch and mould their relationships, conventions and rules within organisations is called elasticity (May et al., 2016). The fit of the innovation within the context where it is supposed to solve a problem or improve care is a an important second determinant to implementation outcomes, according to NPT (May et al., 2016). Innovations, such as the three methods that reduce involuntary care, usually consist of multiple interacting components that need to be performed correctly by care professionals to reach the intended outcome, for example improving quality of care (Moore et al., 2015). An important property of those components is the extent to which their users experience them as modifiable and can adapt them to fit their immediate contexts, without losing effectiveness regarding their intended outcomes, which is called plasticity of innovations (May et al., 2016). Communities of PracticeAccording to NPT, implementation processes occur in dynamic interactions between the innovations themselves and the individuals, groups, conventions and working structures of organisations (May et al., 2016). Due to these dynamics, there is no fixed roadmap or recipe for implementing the three innovative methods that aim to reduce involuntary care. Therefore, this roadmap needed to be developed along the way. Communities of Practice (CoPs) (Wenger, 1998; Wenger et al., 2002) may provide a platform where researchers, care professionals from multiple organisations and other stakeholders learn together from sharing ideas, knowledge, and experiences as they shape the roadmap for implementing methods to reduce involuntary care. Additionally, examining interactions within CoPs offers an opportunity to gain insights into the %u201cblack box%u201d of implementation in intellectual disability care.
