The costing relied on campaign implementation records (with no client identifiers) and discussions with implementing managers, methods that are considered exempt from human subjects research oversight.
Implementation records were kept by two researchers, who met at least weekly to check the implementation plan was being adhered to and was progressing according to the timeline.
Users can comment and ask questions on phenotypes, receive e-mail notification when updates are made, and create "implementation" records, which capture site-specific validation of a phenotype algorithm.
On the basis of up to 40 countries, differences in the independence, the mandate, the implementation record, and the organizational model of the SAIs do not seem to have any clear-cut effect on any of the three groups of dependent variables.
Second, we look at Germany's implementation record of preventive policies or interventions.
Physician adjudicators, blinded to the status of intervention implementation, record and categorize unintentional medication discrepancies with respect to: 1) timing (admission vs. discharge); 2) type (omission, additional medication, change in dose, route, frequency, or formulation, or other); 3) reason (history vs. reconciliation error); 4) potential for harm; and, 5) potential severity.
Each recommendation was then discussed by the research team, and a decision about implementation was recorded, comprising either Implemented, Not implemented or Undecided (when the recommendation related to a later phase of the study, such as a reference to include in a resulting publication).
Two thousand five hundred and twelve (95%) patients had adequate implementation data recorded, of whom 1967 (78%) had implemented plans.
Change implementation was recorded and explored in interviews, comparisons being made with practice recommendations.
This transition involves changing behavior among health providers, meaning delays between introduction and full implementation are recorded in almost every instance.
When any GLIA item is assigned an "N" response, its corresponding barrier to implementation is recorded on the summary sheet with a brief description of why the recommendation failed the criterion (see Figure 1).
