This study aimed to identify and prioritize evidence-based quality improvement strategies for CVD care in India using a modified two-round Delphi process in which, we asked 46 experts (clinicians, researchers, program implementers and policy makers) to rate 25 proven CVD care strategies grouped into: (1) patient support, (2) information communication technology (ICT) for health, (3) group problem solving, (4) training, and (5) multicomponent strategy on a scale of 1 (highest/best)-5 (lowest/worst) on priority, relative advantage, and feasibility. Subsequently, we convened an expert consensus panel of 32 members to deliberate and achieve consensus regarding the prioritized set of strategies for CVD care. The Delphi study found that group problem solving strategies achieved the best score for priority (1.80) but fared poorly on feasibility (2.88). Compared to others, multicomponent strategies were rated favorably across all domains (priority = 1.84, relative advantage = 1.94, and feasibility = 2.40). The ICT for health strategies achieved the worst scores for priority = 2.01, relative advantage = 2.31, and feasibility = 2.85. Training and patient support strategies scored moderately across all domains. The expert panel narrowed the selection of a multicomponent strategy consisting of (1) electronic health records with clinical decision-support system, (2) non-physician health worker facilitated care, (3) patient education materials, (4) text-message based reminders for healthy lifestyle, and (5) audit and feedback report for providers. Future research will evaluate the real-world feasibility and effectiveness of the multicomponent strategy in patients with CVD in a low- and middle-income country setting.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43477-023-00087-2.</p>","PeriodicalId":73165,"journal":{"name":"Global implementation research and applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10240122/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10272528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to describe a systematic, collaborative approach to developing, refining, and utilizing a formal implementation blueprint for scaling up the Contraception Care at Behavioral Health Pavilion (CC@BHP) intervention for adolescents hospitalized in psychiatric units within a pediatric hospital in the United States. In Stage 1 (Planning/Preparation), we assembled a Research Advisory Board (RAB) of 41 multidisciplinary members and conducted a formative evaluation to identify potential barriers to CC@BHP implementation. Barriers were mapped to implementation strategies using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) tool and used to create an initial blueprint. In Stage 2 (Development/Implementation), RAB members used activity logs to track implementation activities over the 18-month study period, which were then mapped to formal implementation strategies used to further develop the blueprint. About 30% of strategies were situated in the 'Train and Educate Stakeholders' ERIC category, 20% in 'Use Evaluative and Iterative Strategies,' and 16% in 'Develop Stakeholder Interrelationships' category. In Stage 3 (Synthesis/Refinement), the final blueprint was refined, consisting of 16 goals linked to 10 strategies for pre-implementation and 6 strategies for implementation. Feedback on the blueprint emphasized the role of the project champion in translating the blueprint into smaller, actionable steps for implementers.</p>","PeriodicalId":73165,"journal":{"name":"Global implementation research and applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"147-161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10827339/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47963886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) for COVID-19, which allow individuals to self-administer tests and receive timely results without laboratory testing, provide the opportunity for surveillance testing of asymptomatic individuals in non-medical settings. However, the literature offers few lessons regarding how to create enabling conditions for effective and sustainable implementation in a workplace setting. Guided by the RE-AIM framework, we assessed factors associated with the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of mandatory RAT in a large-scale construction project in Victoria, Australia. We used a mixed methods approach involving site observation, worker surveys (<i>n</i> = 30), and interviews with 51 site workers and managers to understand the implementation experience. Factors which facilitated adoption included easy, non-invasive testing procedure; sense of workplace safety; and strong backing by management and acceptance by workers that RATs helped limit COVID-19-related lost days of work. Gaps in knowledge and adherence to testing protocols, logistical challenges (test kit supply, observation of test results), and low appetite for long-term, mandatory testing emerged as challenges for effective implementation and sustainability. As RAT becomes normalized in a range of workplace settings, strategies will be required to support the sustainability of implementation, including longer-term acceptability of surveillance testing and adherence to testing protocols.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43477-023-00085-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":73165,"journal":{"name":"Global implementation research and applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10228896/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10094492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Common elements are practices or processes frequently shared by interventions or implementations. Traditional common elements methodologies use synthesis, distillation, and statistics to describe and evaluate the merit of common ingredients in effective interventions. Recent developments include identifying and testing common configurations of elements, processes, and context variables across the literature of effective interventions and implementations. While common elements thinking has grown popular in intervention science, it has rarely been utilized in implementation science, and specifically, combined with the intervention literature. The goals of this conceptual methodology paper are to (1) provide an overview of the common elements concept and how it may advance implementation research and usability for practice, (2) give a step-by-step guide to systematic common elements reviews that synthesizes and distills the intervention and implementation literature together, and (3) offer recommendations for advancing element-level evidence in implementation science. A narrative review of the common elements literature was conducted with attention to applications to implementation research. A six-step guide to using an advanced common elements methodology was provided. Examples of potential results are presented, along with a review of the implications for implementation research and practice. Finally, we reviewed methodological limitations in current common elements approaches, and identified steps towards realizing their potential. Common elements methodologies can (a) synthesize and distill the implementation science literature into practical applications, (b) generate evidence-informed hypotheses about key elements and determinants in implementation and intervention processes and mechanisms, and (c) promote evidence-informed precision tailoring of intervention and implementation to context. To realize this potential, common elements approaches need improved reporting of details from both successful and unsuccessful intervention and implementation research, more data availability, and more testing and investigation of causal processes and mechanisms of change from diverse theories.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43477-023-00077-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":73165,"journal":{"name":"Global implementation research and applications","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10063479/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10288616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
