Methadone maintenance programs have been cited as an example of evidence-based medical programs that have been adversely impacted by misperceptions and biases, limiting their implementation and reach (Gordis, 1991).
Undeniably, the national policy of the Philippine government has its weaknesses and shortcomings in terms of its design, implementation and reach considering that the missions abroad usually focus on diplomatic and other services (Battistella 2012).
This is a limitation both with respect to implementation and reach, and as a source of selection bias.
It also impairs implementation and reach, and can be seen as a source for a systematic error in choosing the participants for this study.
Swarm intelligence is a member of exploration calculations which is used in different industrial, commercial and engineering fields due to its wide range of applications, easy implementation and capability of reaching the absolute optimum.
These include studying ways to: simplify interventions; train future "scale-up leaders"; build and incentivize an implementation workforce; reach and engage recipient communities, especially the poorest; apply the most effective diffusion techniques for scaling up the right tools at the right time in the right place within a health system; and raise the low profile of implementation science.
o Explore opportunities for improving all aspects of the project implementation ( partnership, reach, and effectiveness ) o Identify best practices, strategies, interventions, and formulate practicable specific recommendations for primary users of the evaluation results.
Health insurance schemes are being implemented but coverage and quality of implementation is patchy and reaches mainly the well-off such as civil servants and employees in larger private companies [ 34].
The second of these frameworks, based on implementation and thus referring more to applicability, is the PRISM model, which evaluates how health care programs or interventions interact with recipients to influence program adoption, implementation, maintenance, reach, and effectiveness.
Secondary aims include additional health outcomes (e.g., physical activity, weight) and reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance indicators.
This pilot intervention study used a range of innovative approaches to program design, implementation and evaluation in order to reach a vulnerable group of women in a complex development setting with high HIV prevalence.
