However, the concept of an evaluation of 'readiness' for implementation was less familiar, yet very strongly supported, particularly in the context of assessing organisational readiness for change as one important component of an overall judgement of readiness.
However, the other aim of the programme, with telehealth and telecare acting as a driver for new levels of integration, and providing lessons for wide-scale future implementation, was less successful.
The analysis was less successful in predicting naltrexone implementation for either primary alcohol dependence or primary opiate addiction.
However, frail older people's exposure to the implementation strategies was less than intended.
This is consistent with the finding that MDT discussion and implementation of recommendations was less likely in patients with higher levels of comorbidity (Table 2).
Although some aspects of the intervention were implemented with high fidelity, particularly intervention trainings in which TAAG staff was responsible for implementation, other parts were less completely implemented.
Consequently, from an implementation point of view, the PaIC/Viterbi receivers are less complicated for implementation in FBMC/QAM than in the conventional FBMC, because only one Viterbi algorithm has to be performed for each one received multicarrier symbol, whereas in FBMC/OQAM, we need to perform a Viterbi detector simultaneously for each subcarrier.
Evidence from implementation studies suggests that the indicator as worded is less feasible for implementation in primary care, requiring either a more generic indicator or a series of specific patient self-report indicators; we propose a more generic indicator.
In all cases, the observed general trend was for less implementation in more deprived groups.
It is also clear that, although there is not complete consensus regarding evidence hierarchies, prioritizing experimental evidence may be important for interventions but is less so for implementation activities that is, how interventions are carried out and what makes for successful implementation.
