I am involved in an interactive implementation project as a researcher, collaborating with practitioners in identifying evidence-based pathways for making workplace improvements. I have three questions about this set-up:
What are the facilitators and barriers that you face in your interactive research projects?
What are the methods and tools that help you overcome the barriers you face in such project?
How do you follow and evaluate such processes on a meta level?
Consider a works systems framework - involving an analysis of work systems- processes- and outcomes Article Work System Design for Patient Safety
As part of my PhD project, we explored the factors (both barriers and facilitators) influencing physiotherapists' uptake of clinical practice guidelines (user-friendly docs to help with clinical decision-making on specific conditions). The major barrier you find in many implementation projects is the concept of "lack of time". In essence, we all experience this barrier in many aspects of our work environment, but it is the "why" that makes this specific barrier important. You need to understand the context within which each of the barriers occur to understand how it influences your specific group.
The papers linked below will hopefully help with the above explanation.

Furthermore, the implementation science research shows over and over that involving your end-users from the start of the design of the project, will increase the likelihood of success of the project.
Good luck!
Some Human Factors experiments lend themselves more easily to testing within such restrictions - and in some cases meet the criteria for asking questions around single operator performance (with or without confederates in another room). Biggest issue are experiments where you have to have to directly interact with your participants. More so when having to set-up physiological measures. Some electrode placement can be done by the participant, but many need experimenter assistance to ensure correct contact.
