The two groups of implementation case studies included in our synthesis, although all were conducted in the UK, provide very limited information on how enhanced recovery programmes have actually been implemented in UK NHS settings.
In order to conduct blinded evaluations, evaluators will not know the participants' assigned groups, status of implementation of the intervention, or information on events obtained by other on-site research staff.
The benefit of one-size-fits-all proxy voting policies, of course, is their ability to cope with thousands of voting decisions while requiring only a relatively small group of employees for implementation.
We select a group of the feasible implementation from the last section.
Environmental barriers, particularly organizational constraints, are another often-perceived group of barriers to implementation.
Outcomes were assessed in a group of patients before implementation of the IR outpatient clinic (control group) and then compared to those in a group of patients who were treated after implementation of the IR outpatient clinic and had made a visit to the clinic.
Concerning language support and training in ECEC, the heads of the participating institutions give information on whether or not training is provided and about general conditions, such as duration, intensity, group size, and type of implementation.
The studies included in this review are heterogeneous in terms of target group, intervention components, level of implementation, and study design.
In the group before implementation of the CIP 45.7% of patients were male and 48.6% were between 60 and 80 years old, whereas in the CIP group 63.1% were male and 73.7% were between 60 and 80 years old.
How could the style of decision making (in particular, the degree of participation) and quality of decisions be the same in the two groups, yet the quality of implementation be different?
