Notions of specification, implementation, satisfaction, and refinement, together with operators supporting stepwise design, constitute a specification theory.
Interestingly, after the second year of implementation, satisfaction ratings trended back towards baseline values.
Implementation, satisfaction and expectations were investigated.
Post-implementation satisfaction scores were compared with baseline using 2-tailed, unpaired t tests, and differences were considered significant when p value < 0.05.
These guides contained open-ended questions aimed at assessing strengths and weaknesses of the intervention, barriers and facilitating factors encountered during implementation, providers' satisfaction with MPAC and providers' impressions of patients' satisfaction with MPAC.
However, in a low precision implementation, constraint satisfaction cannot be guaranteed.
However, in a low precision implementation, constraint satisfaction is not guaranteed if infinite precision is assumed during the algorithm design.
A specification theory combines notions of specification and implementation with satisfaction and refinement relations, and a set of operators that together support stepwise design.
Main Outcome Measures: Diversity and numbers of sites represented, patient representation, site coordinator knowledge of neonatal skin care pre-and postimplementation, use of project-designed implementation tools, satisfaction with project guideline and the data collection process, changes in practices and product use, and site coordinators' experiences during guideline implementation.
Secondary aims include assessing the acceptability of the intervention, compliance to the programme, process implementation, patients' satisfaction, evolution of biological parameters and the medicoeconomic impact of the intervention.
An in-depth qualitative approach using semi-structured telephone interviews explored feasibility and acceptability by capturing the work involved in being a participant, and issues around the intervention such as: implementation; usage; satisfaction and setting.
