Inter-rater reliability among the three clinicians reporting that they did not use the guidelines was substantial (Fleiss' kappa = 0.63, 95% CIs = 0.06 and 1.00), i.e., they arrived at the same diagnosis, but these diagnoses were not always guideline-concordant [ 24].
As these barriers will always be guideline specific, every implementation project should be tailor made.
Implementation strategies should target identified barriers and will therefore always be guideline specific.
