This article describes the process of development and formative evaluation of a complex intervention (called ImTeCHO) based on mobile phone technology (mHealth) for improving the performance of ASHAs and overcoming implementation bottlenecks to improve coverage of selected proven MNCH services.
In the context of the recent release of the 2013 WHO guidelines [ 22], we can anticipate that the variability in practice and challenges on the ground documented in this study, can be expected to continue to be implementation bottlenecks to operationalizing expanded eligibility criteria.
It uses the implementation fidelity framework and a mixed methods approach to provide a deeper understanding into the current implementation scenario, and identifies bottlenecks to partograph use in the JSY programme for in-facility births in India.
This article explores how the Global Fund addresses the challenges of a health workforce bottleneck to the successful implementation of priority disease programmes.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a continuous management function to assess if progress is made in achieving expected results, to spot bottlenecks in implementation and to highlight whether there are any unintended effects (positive or negative) from an investment plan, programme or project ("project/plan") and its activities.
Adequate, readily available technical support is needed, in addition to building capacity within the National TB Reference Laboratory system to address potential bottlenecks and technical issues related to implementation.
Remove procedural and institutional bottlenecks to regional trade in food and agriculture, including through efforts to improve efficiency, efficacy and transparency by the implementation of trade facilitation measures and improving standards and quality control.
Indeed we (DDR and PA) have argued elsewhere that implementation research is critical [ 26], but it should not simply be about the identification of bottlenecks to programme delivery, but about generating new science.
Profiling simulations coupled with codesign techniques are used in order to reveal algorithmic bottlenecks and to effectively customize implementation designs.
However, one major bottleneck to the wider applicability of the shearlet transform is that current discrete implementations tend to be very time consuming, making its use impractical for large data sets and for real-time applications.
