Table 2 Implementation Facilitation (IF) activities
IF activities | IF activity description |
|---|---|
Engagement of local partners | Local partner engagement involves creating an atmosphere that is open, non-critical, and goal oriented. Engagement of key partners will take place at the administrative, provider, pharmacist, pharmacy technician, and patient levels |
Formative evaluation | Formative evaluation is an implementation assessment approach designed to identify influences on the development, progress, and effectiveness of implementation efforts related to the PrIMO model and use these data to tailor, refine, and monitor the implementation of the model. Approximately two focus groups per site will be conducted with additional individual meetings with local partners. Change rulers will provide ongoing evaluation of readiness and preparedness, gathered electronically |
Learning collaborative | The monthly Learning Collaborative will bring together clinic staff from all four sites to discuss model implementation, problem solve, and support sustainability |
Academic detailing | Academic detailing, provided by the external facilitators, will include sharing a review of clinical evidence that supports the PrIMO model implementation with key site partners. All local partners involved in the PrIMO model will be offered educational sessions, specifically tailored to an individual’s tasks and identified needs |
Activity logs | Activity tracking logs will document the IF activity occurring, the roles of the individuals participating, and identified resources from the activity. Additionally, sites will document a running list of barriers to implementation |
Tailoring of PrIMO model to each site | The IF strategy will be tailored to the local site informed by the formative evaluation and with feedback from local champions |
Performance monitoring and feedback | External facilitators will collaborate with clinics to develop an electronic dashboard to track key metrics related to model performance |
Program marketing | External facilitators will collaborate with local champions to develop program marketing designed to increase awareness of the PrIMO model through various forms of communication and media |
