The Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF) was developed to describe how relevant systems, organizations, and processes can interact and work toward these goals. Stimulated by the 13 articles contained in the two special issues of Strengthening the Science and Practice of Implementation Support: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Training and Technical Assistance Centers, we describe several enhancements to the ISF including: how service delivery systems can operate better, how motivation and capacity can be built, and how training and technical assistance centers can provide more evidence-informed technical assistance and other promising innovations. ISF 2.0 incorporates these and other enhancements with the goal of achieving better outcomes. We conclude that the actions and accountability of funders and of organizations and systems to funders would accelerate progress in the systems to achieve outcomes-and result in improving the science and practice of implementation support.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"494-506"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142617856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technical assistance (TA) is widely accepted as a key strategy to support evidence-based programs and practices (EBPP) uptake and implementation. However, little is known about how TA practices are used in TA delivery. Moreover, little attention has been paid to building the capacity of TA providers and assessing the fidelity of the implementation of TA practices. The case example presented in this article describes one organization's efforts to develop common language and definitions of TA services, core principles, and methods, and to standardize the delivery of TA by enhancing the capacity and retention of TA providers. We conclude with recommendations about how like organizations can employ similar efforts to improve the quality and consistency of TA delivery, thereby establishing a foundation for building a strong evidence base.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"420-436"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142461598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This commentary offers insights into overcoming these challenges with a case study of the PRISM project, designed to reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in older adults living in Thailand. The case highlights how combining two evidence-based models - the Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease clinical intervention and the Getting To Outcomes implementation science process enhances program success. Using interviews with stakeholders across various health system levels, we identify factors critical to successful program implementation: (1) integrating interventions into policy frameworks, (2) empowering local implementers, (3) fostering collaborative learning, and (4) adapting interventions to local contexts. The case demonstrates that building system readiness through local engagement and ownership is central to scaling up health programs in LMICs. This commentary's contribution lies in its emphasis on the role of implementation science as a vehicle for translating research into practice. It presents a practical, adaptive model for embedding interventions into routine health systems, thereby offering a pathway for successfully scaling up evidence-based programs in LMICs. Such findings provide lessons for overcoming barriers to implementation in resource-limited environments.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"475-483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142567415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe the collaboration between the Wandersman Center and the Geographic Health Equity Alliance team to co-design and implement the GTO-TA system. Data from surveys, interviews, and consensus conversations led to important lessons learned, which are applicable to other TTACs seeking to develop a more proactive and systematic approach to TA.

To achieve these ambitious goals, we encouraged submissions from a broad array of individuals and groups involved in TTA. The seven articles in this second issue were written by a diverse mix of individuals affiliated with TTACs, federal agencies, research-oriented think tanks, and implementation scientists whose focus is on advancing the TTA literature. We felt that the collective wisdom garnered from their experiences would complement the first issue (June 2024) and collectively forge ahead and provide a vision of what is to come. We also thought it would be useful to provide perspectives on what it looks like when readers could examine both issues as a whole.

VPPTB designed the Violence Prevention Technical Assistance Center (VPTAC) with the goal of implementing and evaluating comprehensive TTA efforts that integrates the work of multiple TTA providers to build the capacity of recipients to plan, implement, and evaluate violence prevention efforts. The VPTAC evaluation incorporates data from program recipients, TTA providers, and TTA modalities enabling the VPPTB staff to show improvement in technical knowledge, gather examples of enhanced implementation, and facilitate proactive TTA planning.

We highlight eight priorities to re-imagine a more effective and efficient model of TTA that reflects best practice and simultaneously contributes to continuous, collective evidence-building. The eight priorities include: (1) an ecosystem of TTA connecting TTA research and practice; (2) TTA capacity building; (3) health equity, and equitable partnerships; (4) trust and relationships; (5) TTA evaluation; (6) continuous quality improvement; (7) implementation support mechanisms; and (8) cost-effective solutions. We advocate for an international, cross-disciplinary, applied agenda aimed at establishing a robust empirical foundation for TTA to foster a culture of continuous quality improvement and knowledge generation across government agencies and philanthropies that fund TTA Centers.

Upon analyzing the patient groups served, it was observed that 49% (n = 25) of the hospitals specialize in treating adult patients, while 29.4% (n = 15) cater to pediatric patients. While the websites of 11 hospitals contain information about the behavioral addiction treatments offered, they lack any information on the patient groups to which they cater. The predominant treatment modalities include psychotherapy (25.49%), followed by psychopharmacotherapy (19.61%) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (17.65%).

Although stakeholder engagement is crucial in program evaluation, no previous review has specifically examined the stakeholders involved in MEd program evaluation. This scoping review addresses this gap by identifying the stakeholders, their roles, and their levels of engagement in evaluating MEd programs, along with the facilitators and barriers to their participation. Through a systematic search across four databases, we identified 53 relevant studies out of 7206 screened. Our findings reveal seven primary stakeholder groups, with students and program directors being the most frequent participants. However, a significant gap exists in the representation of community members and patients, indicating a need for greater inclusion of these key stakeholders. Additionally, we found that stakeholders are primarily engaged as passive participants providing feedback rather than actively shaping the evaluation process. Facilitators and barriers to participation were identified from the participants' perspective, highlighting the need for further research to understand the viewpoints of active stakeholders, such as faculty and administrators. Future studies should also explore the impact of different evaluation approaches on stakeholder engagement to develop more inclusive and effective MEd program evaluations.","PeriodicalId":12315,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation & the Health Professions","volume":" ","pages":"1632787241286911"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142544591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
