Conceptual model for implementation of digital transformation and organizational structure in the construction sector

The construction sector has historically had lower productivity rates than other industries. This situation has led to the implementing new technologies and tools to increase the sector's added value. One of the significant trends has been digital transformation, adopting technological methodologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Drones, Automation, Apps, the Internet of Things, and Big Data. Implementing these technologies has improved processes; however, this change process has been slow and gradual and has not generated radical transformations. One of the most significant problems is the resistance to change at the organizational level. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to analyze the interaction between organizational structure and digital transformation; this relationship could substantially improve construction services and products. A survey was designed and distributed to companies in the Colombian construction sector, using 13 variables that impact digital transformation and organizational structures. Three hundred thirty-two valid responses were collected; they were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factorial analysis, and logistic regressions. The results show that the main aspects impacting the digital transformation processes are Employee Training and Development, Promotion Opportunities, Business Strategy, Leadership Styles, Cloud Services, and Integrated Organizational Innovation. Companies should understand the advantages of digital transformation and the necessary changes to reach an optimal organizational structure; these improvements will directly relate to improving construction services and products.

A Review of the Implementation Status of and National Plans on HPV Vaccination in 17 Middle-Income Countries of the WHO Western Pacific Region.

The World Health Organization’s Western Pacific Region is responsible for one-fourth of the global cervical cancer burden, and nearly 90% of that burden is concentrated in middle-income countries (MICs). Applying a conceptual model of implementation of population-based interventions, we synthesized the current implementation status of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and national plans that form the basis of its implementation in 17 MICs. We gathered information from a range of governmental documents, published studies, and global databases. For all available national cancer-related plans and immunization plans, we examined the description of HPV vaccination. We found that, as of July 2021, only four countries (24%) had a mature HPV vaccination program with a high first-dose coverage; three (18%) had introduced HPV vaccination, but needed further efforts to scale it up, seven (41%) had not been able to introduce it after conducting demonstration projects, and three (18%) did not have any experience in HPV vaccination. In the national plans, most of the countries recognized the importance of HPV vaccination, but only 10 (59%) provided an implementation strategy on how it would be introduced or scaled up. Countries with a mature program were more likely to have their implementation strategy detailed in their national cancer control plan. Successful implementation of HPV vaccination requires overcoming known challenges and having a clear national plan. Positioning HPV vaccination clearly in the overall national cancer control plan may be key to accelerating its nationwide implementation.

A Conceptual Model for Implementation and Evaluation of Interventions Across the Hepatocellular Carcinoma Care Continuum

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and one of the few cancers with a rising mortality in the United States. There are opportunities for intervention along the cancer care continuum (CCC), which includes risk assessment, primary prevention, detection (ie, screening initiation and follow-up of screening results), diagnosis, and treatment.1 Each step is prone to failures that are influenced by factors at multiple socioecological levels (ie, patient, provider, health delivery system, community, and policy levels).2 We recently described a conceptual model of the steps and interfaces along the CCC that are required for effective implementation of HCC screening in clinical practice.3 Herein, we present a conceptual model for the implementation and evaluation of interventions at each of the socioecological levels using implementation strategies that promote optimal delivery and uptake. We focus on early steps in the CCC, including risk assessment, primary prevention, and early detection (ie, secondary prevention), because these have the greatest potential to reduce HCC mortality.

Developing a Conceptual Model of Implementation of Business Functions Integration in the Internal Business Process Performance

The research used in assessing the performance of internal business processes in this study uses strategic management theory and operations management through the Resource-Based View approach, Market-Based View aspects and Organization Culture. The Banking Industry has to think about the business processes and workflows to empower employees and what they need to do to stay competitive in the face of rapidly changing competition. The method used in this research is a Literature Review with a descriptive approach that will produce a conceptual model. The resulting conceptual model development was adopted from DeLone and McLean's Model about the success of the Information System which was combined with the input variables studied to produce an implementation model for the integration of business functions to improve the performance of internal business processes.

A mixed methods evaluation of the implementation of pharmacy services within a team-based at-home care program.

Sub-optimal medication use results in significant avoidable morbidity, mortality, and costs. Programs, such as comprehensive medication management (CMM), can help to optimize medication use, improve outcomes, and reduce costs. However, implementing programs like CMM can be challenging and differences in how CMM has been implemented may be responsible for observed heterogeneity in the outcomes associated with CMM. Describe the implementation strategies utilized in implementing CMM telephonically within a team-based at-home care program and evaluate the implementation process. The implementation of CMM was facilitated using various implementation strategies including: develop educational material and conduct training, change record system, audit and feedback, learning collaborative, quality monitoring, readiness assessment, and implementation team formation. The impact of these strategies as well as pharmacist and team member perspectives on the implementation of CMM were examined using mixed methods and guided by Proctor's conceptual model for implementation. The pharmacists felt that most of the implementation strategies used to facilitate consistent delivery of CMM were useful, but were unable to successfully implement all of them. Despite this, significant increases in fidelity to steps of the patient care process was achieved. The pharmacists felt that CMM was acceptable, appropriate for patient population, and feasible, but barriers (e.g., the telephonic and remote nature of the practice, the evolving nature of the program, and the difficulty in coordinating care between the patients primary care team and the care team affiliated with the program) affected the feasibility and organizational fit of CMM within this team-based, at-home care program. General pharmacy services, however, were seen as acceptable, appropriate, and feasible. Deliberately designing and utilizing a variety of implementation strategies can facilitate the implementation of CMM and significantly increase fidelity to the patient care process. To improve feasibility and organizational fit of CMM, additional barriers and challenges need to be addressed.

Implementation of Technology Such As Enterprises Resource Planning ERP Through Integration of Human Capital with Quality using Analytic Hierarchical Process AHP

Information technology Such as Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) supports the processes of electronic human resource management (e-HRM) but it lacks the other factors such human capital and quality in decision making. Human capital is related to the skill and knowledge of employee. Total Quality Management (TQM) is more emphasis on the internal customer that includes the employee within the organization. Human Capital (HC) and Quality can be integrated to improve the quality of the output. Many studies have integrated the Quality with HRM through e-HRM to improve the performances but only a few studies have done for e-HRM with the integration of HC with Quality. The purpose of this study is to implement the e-HRM through the integration of HC with Quality using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The exploration type of research design to integrate the HC with Quality is analyzed using AHP analysis based on the critical success factors (CSFs). The analysis of AHP is resulted that Employee involvement (EI = 0.234), Training, Education & Learning (TL = 0.234), Quality Measures (QM = 0.146), Performance Appraisal (PA = 0.131) and Quality Factors (QF = 0.096) are selected for implementation of the e-HRM through the integration of HC with Quality. Based on the five CSFs, the conceptual model can be designed for implementation of the e-HRM through the integration of HC with Quality. The conceptual model for implementation of the e-HRM through the integration of HC with Quality needs to be empirically tested.

Enabling new graduate midwives to work in midwifery continuity of care models: A conceptual model for implementation.

High-level evidence demonstrates midwifery continuity of care is beneficial for women and babies. Women have limited access to midwifery continuity of care models in Australia. One of the factors limiting women's access is recruiting enough midwives to work in continuity. Our research found that newly graduated midwives felt well prepared to work in midwifery led continuity of care models, were well supported to work in the models and the main driver to employing them was a need to staff the models. However limited opportunities exist for new graduate midwives to work in midwifery continuity of care. The aim of this paper therefore is to describe a conceptual model developed to enable new graduate midwives to work in midwifery continuity of care models. The findings from a qualitative study were synthesised with the existing literature to develop a conceptual model that enables new graduate midwives to work in midwifery continuity of care. The model contains the essential elements to enable new graduate midwives to work in midwifery continuity of care models. Each of the essential elements discussed are to assist midwifery managers, educators and new graduates to facilitate the organisational changes required to accommodate new graduates. The conceptual model is useful to show maternity services how to enable new graduate midwives to work in midwifery continuity of care models.

Implementing medical teaching policy in university hospitals

Within the unique and complex settings of university hospitals, it is difficult to implement policy initiatives aimed at developing careers in and improving the quality of academic medical teaching because of the competing domains of medical research and patient care. Factors that influence faculty in making use of teaching policy incentives have remained underexplored. Knowledge of these factors is needed to develop theory on the successful implementation of medical teaching policy in university hospitals. To explore factors that influence faculty in making use of teaching policy incentives and to develop a conceptual model for implementation of medical teaching policy in university hospitals. We used the grounded theory methodology. We applied constant comparative analysis to qualitative data obtained from 12 semi-structured interviews conducted at the Radboud University Medical Center. We used a constructivist approach, in which data and theories are co-created through interaction between the researcher and the field and its participants. We constructed a model for the implementation of medical teaching policy in university hospitals, including five factors that were perceived to promote or inhibit faculty in a university hospital to make use of teaching policy incentives: Executive Board Strategy, Departmental Strategy, Departmental Structure, Departmental Culture, and Individual Strategy. Most factors we found to affect individual teachers’ strategies and their use of medical teaching policy lie at the departmental level. If an individual teacher’s strategy is focused on medical teaching and a medical teaching career, and the departmental context offers support and opportunity for his/her development, this promotes faculty’s use of teaching policy incentives.

Expected Impact of Health Care Reform on the Organization and Service Delivery of Publicly Funded Addiction Health Services.

Little is known about how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will be implemented in publicly funded addiction health services (AHS) organizations. Guided by a conceptual model of implementation of new practices in health care systems, this study relied on qualitative data collected in 2013 from 30 AHS clinical supervisors in Los Angeles County, California. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach with ATLAS.ti software. Supervisors expected several potential effects of ACA implementation, including increased use of AHS services, shifts in the duration and intensity of AHS services, and workforce professionalization. However, supervisors were not prepared for actions to align their programs' strategic change plans with policy expectations. Findings point to the need for health care policy interventions to help treatment providers effectively respond to ACA principles of improving standards of care and reducing disparities.

Measuring Implementation of Evidence-Based Programs Targeting Young Children at Risk for Emotional/Behavioral Disorders

Young children with and at risk for emotional/behavioral disorders (EBD) present challenges for early childhood teachers. Evidence-based programs designed to address these young children’s behavior problems exist, but there are a number of barriers to implementing these programs in early childhood settings. Advancing the science of treatment integrity measurement can assist researchers and consumers interested in implementing evidence-based programs in early childhood classrooms. To provide guidance for researchers interested in assessing the integrity of implementation efforts, we describe a conceptual model of implementation of evidence-based programs designed to prevent EBD when applied in early childhood settings. Next, we describe steps that can be used to develop treatment integrity measures. Last, we discuss factors to consider when developing treatment integrity measures with specific emphasis on psychometrically strong measures that have maximum utility for implementation research in early childhood classrooms.

Information and Communication Technology Unit Service Management in a Non-profit Organization Using ITIL Standards

The study subject of this paper is the use of management standards and recommendations in the implementation of ITIL standards and best practices in the management of Information and Communication Technology unit. The conceptual implementation model consists of analysis, observations and implementation of best practices and methodologies in order to develop an integrated system compatible with the needs of an international non-profit organization. The paper elaborates the key aspects of corporate culture combined with the rules and regulations in order to maximize the quality of service, its efficiency and availability. One of the most important services is the management of client support in order to maximize the efficiency of service delivered to clients. This paper also illustrates the practical implementation of the ITIL best practices within the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, using software tools and documented procedures to manage services, infrastructure and resources.

Strategies to implement alcohol screening and brief intervention in primary care settings: A structured literature review.

Although alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) reduces drinking in primary care patients with unhealthy alcohol use, incorporating SBI into clinical settings has been challenging. We systematically reviewed the literature on implementation studies of alcohol SBI using a broad conceptual model of implementation, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), to identify domains addressed by programs that achieved high rates of screening and/or brief intervention (BI). Seventeen articles from 8 implementation programs were included; studies were conducted in 9 countries and represented 533,903 patients (127,304 patients screened), 2,001 providers, and 1,805 clinics. Rates of SBI varied across articles (2-93% for screening and 0.9-73.1% for BI). Implementation programs described use of 7-25 of the 39 CFIR elements. Most programs used strategies that spanned all 5 domains of the CFIR with varying emphases on particular domains and sub-domains. Comparison of SBI rates was limited by most studies' being conducted by 2 implementation programs and by different outcome measures, scopes, and durations. However, one implementation program reported a high rate of screening relative to other programs (93%) and could be distinguished by its use of strategies that related to the Inner Setting, Outer Setting, and Process of Implementation domains of the CFIR. Future studies could assess whether focusing on Inner Setting, Outer Setting, and Process of Implementation elements of the CFIR during implementation is associated with successful implementation of alcohol screening, as well as which elements may be associated with successful, sustained implementation of BI.

A Success Framework to Investigate Critical Factors Associated with Implementation of Customer Relationship Management

This paper suggests a novel success framework for customer relationship management (CRM) based on a conceptual implementation model to identify associated critical factors and their contribution to overall success/failure. Fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) is applied to identify the relative importance of each factor in successful implementation of each stage and the CRM initiative as a unified process. The results illustrate that CRM goals, change management, customer knowledge management, and top management support are the most critical factors for successful implementation of CRM projects within Iranian business contexts. The proposed success framework provides valuable insight into the CRM implementation process and its critical success factors (CSFs). It can be applied as a practical assessment tool that provides a pre-evaluation of the overall success of the CRM implementation project and identifies areas of weakness that negatively affect successful implementation of each stage of CRM initiative.

Toward the Effective and Efficient Measurement of Implementation Fidelity

Implementation science in mental health is informed by other academic disciplines and industries. Conceptual and methodological territory charted in psychotherapy research is pertinent to two elements of the conceptual model of implementation posited by Aarons and colleagues (2010)--implementation fidelity and innovation feedback systems. Key characteristics of scientifically validated fidelity instruments, and of the feasibility of their use in routine care, are presented. The challenges of ensuring fidelity measurement methods are both effective (scientifically validated) and efficient (feasible and useful in routine care) are identified as are examples of implementation research attempting to balance these attributes of fidelity measurement.

Implementation of a School-Based Mental Health Promotion Programme in Ireland

This paper reflects on the challenges associated with developing, implementing and evaluating a universal curriculum - based module promoting positive mental health for 15-18 year olds in Irish schools. The module consists of 13 classroom sessions over two years, and uses experiential learning techniques to address issues such as coping strategies and sources of support. The paper is structured around the implications of a conceptual model of implementation for school-based preventive interventions developed by Greenberg et al (2001b), covering three phases of programme implementation: pre-adoption - adapting principles of best practice to local circumstances, teacher training; delivery - school ethos, stakeholder involvement, measuring implementation, selecting appropriate outcome indicators, designing an activity-based evaluation workshop for students; and post-delivery - development of quality indicators for teachers to use on an ongoing basis, scaling-up issues.

Critical Success Factors in Manufacturing Resource Planning Implementation

The implementation process of any information system is a challenging task which becomes even more difficult when the system to be implemented is complex and requires significant organisational change, such as Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II). The study reported here was conducted to identify factors which affect the success of the implementation. This study extends prior research in the MRP II implementation area by evaluating more specific aspects of environmental and methodological factors such as an organisation′s willingness to change and consultant involvement in the MRP II implementation. This empirical study determined the association among environmental factors, methods of implementation, and MRP II success. A conceptual implementation model was developed and factors were identified which were associated with two measures of MRP II success. Two environmental factors and twelve methodological factors were identified as being associated with MRP II success. Based on the results of the study, an awareness and understanding of these factors will increase the success of future MRP II implementations.
