Abstract

Background: The integration of information and communication technologies in clinical practice can supplement traditional care pathways on discharge education and has exhibited evident benefits in improving patient health outcomes. However, healthcare providers have reported difficulties in adopting such technologies. The existing evidence on implementation interventions supporting the implementation of information and communication technologies is insufficient, characterized by infrequent utilization or reporting of implementation theories in implementation intervention designs. This study aims to outline the creation of a theory-informed implementation intervention package to enhance the clinical implementation of information and communication technologies for post-discharge self-care among hospitalized older adults.

Methods: This study systematically applies the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) approach, involving behavior diagnosis, identification of intervention options, and intervention content selection, informed by conceptual frameworks, empirical data, and relevant literature. Additionally, the Implementation Research Logic Model is utilized to synthesize, organize, and visually present the collected data.

Results: This structured process identified and selected five intervention functions, 11 behavior change techniques, and four policy categories. A multifaceted implementation intervention package was developed, containing four components: (i) flexible and sustainable training, (ii) mass media and opinion leader campaign, (iii) technology and workflow redesign, and (iv) regular corporate-level audit and feedback.

Conclusions: The study addresses the incomplete evidence base for implementation interventions supporting clinical information and communication technology implementation, presenting a practical, evaluable, and scalable theory-informed implementation intervention package. By providing an example of the application of the BCW approach and logic model, this study contributes to the knowledge on implementation intervention design, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to improve healthcare providers' behavior change and post-discharge care management with technology-based interventions.

加强住院老年患者出院后护理的信息和通信技术实施:利用行为改变轮和实施研究逻辑模型开发一个多方面的实施干预包。
背景:信息和通信技术在临床实践中的整合可以补充传统的出院教育护理途径,并在改善患者健康结果方面表现出明显的益处。然而,医疗保健提供者报告了采用此类技术的困难。支持信息和通信技术实施的实施干预措施的现有证据不足,其特点是在实施干预设计中很少使用或报告实施理论。本研究旨在建立一套理论知情的实施干预方案,以提高住院老年人出院后自我护理的信息和通信技术的临床实施。方法:本研究在概念框架、实证数据和相关文献的基础上,系统地应用行为改变轮(BCW)方法,包括行为诊断、干预方案识别和干预内容选择。此外,利用实施研究逻辑模型对收集到的数据进行综合、组织和可视化呈现。结果:该结构化过程确定并选择了五种干预功能、11种行为改变技术和四种政策类别。制定了一套多方面的执行干预措施,其中包括四个部分:(i)灵活和可持续的培训;(ii)大众传播媒介和意见领袖运动;(iii)重新设计技术和工作流程;(iv)公司一级的定期审计和反馈。结论:该研究解决了支持临床信息和通信技术实施干预的不完整证据基础,提出了一个实用的、可评估的、可扩展的理论知情实施干预包。通过提供BCW方法和逻辑模型的应用实例,本研究有助于了解实施干预设计,为旨在通过基于技术的干预改善医疗保健提供者的行为改变和出院后护理管理的研究人员和从业人员提供有价值的见解。
