Part B: Description of KT Strategy
Description of KT Strategy (What is to be implemented?) :
Hypothesized Outcome of Implementation (What is the expected effect of implementing the KT strategy?):
Deliverer of Strategy (Who is responsible for implementation? See the Appendix for definitions)
Clinician – Specify whom:
Researcher Management
Other (explain): / Control Group:
No Intervention Standard Practice
Control Group Received Intervention afterwards
Other (explain):
Evidence Supporting the KT Strategy (What evidence was used to develop the KT strategy?)
Clinical practice guideline(s) Recommendations by expert panel
Systematic review / meta-analysis Multiple studies, including RCTs
Single RCT Multiple studies, no RCTs
Single study, non-randomized Analyses of structures/processes (e.g. QUERI)
Analyses or observation of own current practice Expert opinion
Other (explain):
Part C: Strategies for KT Implementation:
Implementation Process (How was the KT strategy implemented?):
Drivers
  1. Competency Drivers– Develop, improve, and sustain one’s ability to implement a strategy to benefit patients (i.e. training, supervising/coaching, education, performance assessments)
Provider education & training Ongoing coaching/feedback to personnel implementing intervention:
Dissemination of educational materials
None described
Other (explain):
  1. Organization Drivers– Create and sustain hospitable organizational and systems environments for effective healthcare services (i.e. decision support – measures & data, facilitative admin supports, systems intervention)
Development/revision of treatment protocols/algorithms:
Computerized? yes no unknown
Other reminders for health care professionals
Computerized? yes no unknown
Selection of relevant and reliable measures
Formation of an ‘implementation team’/working group
Develop policies/processes to support practice change
Regular audit, meeting and feedback among implementation team members
Obtain feedback from stakeholders and staff
Objectively communicate strengths/barriers (e.g. up/down the organizational levels)
None described
Other (explain):
  1. Leadership Drivers– Ensure continuous improvement cycles are moving information forward and information backward to improve alignment overtime (i.e. technical and adaptive leadership) from organizational leaders
Organizational leaders provide specific guidance, are engaged, provide reasons for change
Organizational leaders have convened groups to build consensus
Organizational leaders are actively involved in the implementation process
None described

ANY NOTES ON IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS[Include any models (e.g. QUERI) or strategies that the implementation was based on:
Part D: Evaluation
Results Presented:
Type 1
No results
Has results, but is not relevant to the effect of the implementation on outcomes (patient or system)
Type 2
Has relevant results of the effect of the implementation on outcomes analyzed using statistical analyses
Has relevant results of the effect of the implementation on outcomes, but no statistical analyses
Was the implementation team different from the evaluation team?
Yes No / If Yes, who evaluated the program?

Empirical Evidence Related to the Implementation (What empirical evidence is there to evaluate the implementation process of the KT strategy?):
Facilitators to Implementation (based on evaluation): / Barriers to Implementation (based on evaluation):
Section 2. Description of Implementation Evaluation
Procedure to Measure KT Effect on Patient Outcomes (How was the impact of implementing the KT strategy on patient or health care outcomes assessed?):
Empirical Evidence Related to the Impact of Implementing the KT Strategy on Patient Outcomes (What empirical evidence is there to evaluate if implementing the KT strategy changed patient or health care outcomes?):
