Tailoring implementation of a youth-focused mental health intervention in Sierra Leone using an implementation blueprint methodology

BackgroundIdentifying contextual factors that might support or hinder implementation of evidence-based mental health interventions for youth in low- and middle- income countries may improve implementation success by increasing the alignment of intervention implementation with local needs and resources. This study engaged community partners in Sierra Leone to: (a) investigate barriers and facilitators to implementing a mental health intervention within Sierra Leone’s schools; (b) develop an implementation blueprint to address identified implementation barriers; (c) explore the feasibility of using the implementation blueprint methodology in Sierra Leone.MethodsWe recruited Ministry of Education Officials (n = 2), teachers (n = 15) and principals (n = 15) in Sierra Leone to participate in needs assessment qualitative interviews. We used a rapid qualitative analysis approach to analyze data. Three team members summarized transcripts based on domains aligned with the structured research questions, organized themes into a matrix, and identified and discussed key themes to arrive at consensus. We then reconvened community partners to discuss implementation strategies that could address identified barriers. Participants ranked barriers according to high/low feasibility and high/low importance and selected implementation strategies for the blueprint.ResultsQualitative results revealed several implementation barriers: teacher/parent/student buy-in; teacher motivation; scheduling time; limited funding; waning interest; daily hardships outside of school. Strategies selected included: develop/distribute educational materials; conduct education meetings/outreach; identify and prepare champions; access new funding.ConclusionsEngaging community partners to develop an implementation blueprint for integration of a mental health intervention within Sierra Leone’s schools was feasible and may increase implementation effectiveness.

Barriers to establishing teledermatoscopy in primary health care in Sweden

IntroductionTeledermatoscopy (TDS) has proven to be effective and reliable for diagnosis of skin malignancies. The factors that determine the success of implementation of TDS are largely unknown.ObjectivesTo investigate barriers to implementation of TDS in primary health care (PHC) at center and individual level.MethodsFollowing introduction of TDS, cross-sectional quantitative data and free text comments were collected by surveys sent to PHC centers and PCH practitioners. Successful implementation was defined as regularly sent cases at center level and self-reported usage at individual level. Factors associated with implementation were evaluated with Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression.Results93/117 (78.2%) of PHC centers and 239/725 (32.9%) of PHC practitioners answered the surveys. 54.8% (n = 51) of PHC centers and 64.3% (n = 153) of PHC practitioners had implemented TDS.There was a strong association between hardware arrival before introduction and TDS usage at center level (OR 6.0; 95% CI 1.5–24.3). At individual level, male sex was positively associated with usage (OR 1.9; 95%, CI 1.0–3.4), and for every year of increased age, the chance of using TDS decreased with 3% (OR 1.0, 95% CI 0.9–1.0). No other factor was associated with implementation. “Good” was the most common overall impression (54.8%), and the majority found no problems using the system (> 85%). The most common complaint was technical issues followed by no added value.ConclusionsSuccessful implementation of TDS was strongly associated with hardware arrival at center level, and to male sex and younger age at individual level. Satisfaction was overall high.

Does the implementation status of gender provisions affect the implementation of a peace agreement? Evidence from Colombia's 2016 peace agreement implementation process

AbstractIn 2016, the Colombian government and the leftist insurgency group FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo) signed an agreement that ensures women's greater participation in the peace implementation process, their access to benefits from the programs, and their ability to reform initiatives in the agreement. While applauded for adhering to the UNSCR 1325 normative commitments on women's roles in peace processes, it's unclear how adopting a gender perspective affects the entire agreement's implementation success. This article analyzes monthly data on the implementation of 578 stipulations and 70 subthemes (reforms or programs) and evaluates peace implementation from a gender perspective. The findings from the stipulation level analysis reveal an implementation gap between gender and gender‐neutral or non‐gender provisions. The subtheme level analyses further confirm this finding that gender provisions alone do not contribute to the overall peace implementation success; rather, implementing those provisions is foundational for advancing the overall peace implementation.

Innovation in Medical Education on Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities: Report on the National Inclusive Curriculum for Health Education-Medical Initiative.

The lack of physician training in serving patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) has been highlighted as a key modifiable root cause of health disparities experienced by this high-priority public health population. To address gaps in medical education regarding the lack of IDD curriculum, lack of evaluation/assessment, and lack of coordination across institutions, the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry created the National Inclusive Curriculum for Health Education-Medical (NICHE-MED) Initiative in 2016. The aims of NICHE-MED are to: (1) impact medical students' attitudes and/or knowledge to address underlying ableism and address how future physicians think about disability; (2) apply a lens of health equity and intersectionality, centering people with IDD, but fostering conversation and learning about issues faced by other disability and minoritized populations; and (3) support community-engaged scholarship within medical education. As of 2024, the NICHE-MED initiative consists of close to 40 Medical School Partners, each with their own community-engaged disability curriculum intervention paired with a rigorous evaluation that ties centrally to coordinated program evaluation. The NICHE-MED initiative demonstrates implementation success at scale and is a successful community-engaged curriculum change model that may be replicated regarding disability more broadly and regarding necessary medical education efforts that center other marginalized populations.

Cadets’ Self-Government as a Factor of Future Officers’ Organizational Culture Formation

The article deals with substantiation of the role of cadets’ self-government in the formation of future officers’ organizational culture at a higher military educational institution. The organizational culture is defined as a complex of norms, values, and beliefs and consider it to be an important component of the officers’ professional culture and, at the same time, a factor of the future officers’ personal development during their professional training and independent professional activity as well. The main characteristics of the future officers’ organizational culture, three components in the structure of future officers’ organizational culture (culture of self-organization, culture of subordinate personnel organization, culture of interpersonal interaction organization) have been defined. Based on the identified components in the structure of future officers’ organizational culture, we have identified the criteria for its formation (cognitive, activity, personal), which are specified in a set of relevant indicators. The pedagogical conditions of future officers’ organizational culture formation with the use of cadets’ self-government in higher military educational institutions have been determined: ensuring the gradual involving of cadets in different forms of extra-our educational activities; involving cadets in organizational activities in the framework of the program "Young Leader School", which provides the formation of professionally oriented personal background in the organizational culture formation. The study concluded that organizational culture is an essential component of the professionalism of a future officer, which largely determined the success of the professional tasks implementation; cadets’ self-government has a significant potential in the context of forming the organizational culture of future officers, and its capabilities should be actively used to form the organizational culture of cadets.

Evaluation of a Virtual Health Hub for People Experiencing Homelessness in Sydney, Australia: Ensuring Physical and Psychological Primary Health Care in Crisis Accommodation

Introduction: Individuals experiencing homelessness have higher rates of chronic disease and face challenges accessing primary care. Virtual health care can reduce health inequity but needs user acceptance. A virtual health hub (VHH) for people experiencing homelessness in Sydney provided virtual GP and psychologist care within a crisis accommodation service. This included nursing assistance. Method: The VHH evaluation assessed the feasibility of the service specifically examining accessibility, efficiency, costs, technology, quality, and outcomes through attendance data, patient measures, stakeholder interviews, and case studies. Findings: Data indicated 40% client utilisation with high attendance for GPs and/or psychologists. All clients reported a high quality of care, appointment benefits, understanding clinicians, and treatment help, and that privacy was maintained. If the VHH was not available, one-third would not have sought treatment. The majority agreed that virtual care was the same or better than in-person care. Only a few experienced technical issues. Service provider interviews indicated the benefits of accessible and affordable care, perceived reduced hospital presentations, staff time saved, and reduced client costs. Limitations were the lack of physical examinations and lack of follow-up due to temporary accommodation. Strong stakeholder partnerships enabled implementation success. Conclusions: The VHH service is feasible and replicable with on-site assistance and stakeholder commitment.

Implementation of Machine Learning Applications in Health Care Organizations: Systematic Review of Empirical Studies.

There is a growing enthusiasm for machine learning (ML) among academics and health care practitioners. Despite the transformative potential of ML-based applications for patient care, their uptake and implementation in health care organizations are sporadic. Numerous challenges currently impede or delay thewidespread implementation of ML in clinical practice, and limited knowledge is available regarding how these challenges have been addressed. This work aimed to (1) examine the characteristics of ML-based applications and the implementation process in clinical practice, using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) for theoretical guidance and (2) synthesize the strategies adopted by health care organizations to foster successful implementation of ML. A systematic literature review was conducted based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science over a 10-year period (2013-2023). The search strategy was built around 4 blocks of keywords (artificial intelligence, implementation, health care, and study type). Only empirical studies documenting the implementation of ML applications in clinical settings were considered. The implementation process was investigated using a thematic analysis and coding procedure. Thirty-four studies were selected for data synthesis. Selected papers were relatively recent, with only 9% (3/34) of records published before 2019. ML-based applications were implemented mostly within hospitals (29/34, 85%). In terms of clinical workflow, ML-based applications supported mostly prognosis (20/34, 59%) and diagnosis (10/34, 29%). The implementation efforts were analyzed using CFIR domains. As for the inner setting domain, access to knowledge and information (12/34, 35%), information technology infrastructure (11/34, 32%), and organizational culture (9/34, 26%) were among the most observed dimensions influencing the success of implementation. As for the ML innovation itself, factors deemed relevant were its design (15/34, 44%), the relative advantage with respect to existing clinical practice (14/34, 41%), and perceived complexity (14/34, 41%). As for the other domains (ie, processes, roles, and outer setting), stakeholder engagement (12/34, 35%), reflecting and evaluating practices (11/34, 32%), and the presence of implementation leaders (9/34, 26%) were the main factors identified as important. This review sheds some light on the factors that are relevant and that should be accounted for in the implementation process of ML-based applications in health care. While the relevance of ML-specific dimensions, like trust, emerges clearly across several implementation domains, the evidence from this review highlighted that relevant implementation factors are not necessarily specific for ML but rather transversal for digital health technologies. More research is needed to further clarify the factors that are relevant to implementing ML-based applications at the organizational level and to support their uptake within health care organizations.

A tailored intervention for the detection of patients with coronary heart disease and mental or cognitive comorbidities in the German primary care setting: qualitative evaluation of implementation success

BackgroundGuidelines recommend the identification of potential mental and/or cognitive disorders (MCD) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, compliance with these guidelines appears to be lacking in primary care. A minimal invasive intervention was tailored with experts for the primary care setting to increase the identification of this patient group and ensure proper treatment. The intervention includes: A trigger question, screening tests and question prompt sheet for patients. Following the implementation of this intervention in primary care physician (PCP) offices, the aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation outcomes.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with ten PCPs who tested the intervention for six months. The study was guided by Proctor’s Framework on Implementation Outcomes to understand the appropriateness, feasibility, acceptability, fidelity and sustainability of the intervention as proxies for implementation success.ResultsRelevance of the topic and the need for the intervention is recognised by all of the PCPs. All PCPs were willing to try the intervention and considered it generally appropriate and feasible. Additionally, supporting implementation resources were considered helpful in familiarising with the intervention. Screening of patients with a first diagnosis of CHD, those who have had experienced a recent coronary event and those who have been hospitalised for CHD is considered practical and appropriate. Known barriers such as lack of knowledge, perceived relevance and awareness were successfully addressed. It was not possible to overcome barriers such as time pressure, forgetfulness, and patient reaction. Additionally, the paper format of the information materials was perceived as impractical, and integration into the physician information system was identified as a possible way to increase acceptance. Nevertheless, PCPs stated they will continue to be aware of the link between CHD and MCD and want to maintain their individualised approach.ConclusionsThe study provides important insights into the use of a minimal invasive intervention in primary care. Despite tailoring the intervention to the primary care setting, implementation success was suboptimal due to individual barriers in PCP offices. This highlights the need for tailored approaches at the level of individual PCP offices to better address context-specific barriers.

Successful Implementation of Nirsevimab and Factors Influencing Uptake in Neonatal Care.

Objective: To describe the implementation of nirsevimab for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated lower respiratory tract disease in a pediatric hospital, focusing on strategies to ensure equitable access and address logistical challenges. Additionally, we aimed to identify predictors of nirsevimab deferral among eligible infants. Patients and Methods: Our hospital implemented a universal immunization campaign to all eligible infants, including those discharged from the newborn nursery, intermediate care nursery (ICN), and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We identified key drivers and barriers, formed a multidisciplinary team, and applied a systematic approach for integration of nirsevimab orders into existing workflows. We developed and disseminated educational resources for staff and caregivers. After the implementation, we conducted univariate and multivariate analyses to identify predictors of nirsevimab deferral to evaluate implementation success and possible gaps. Results: Despite challenges, we offered nirsevimab to 99% of eligible infants prior to discharge from the newborn nursery, ICN, and NICU with 71% receiving the immunization. On multivariate analysis, independent predictors of nirsevimab deferral included preferred language of English, deferral of hepatitis B vaccine, discharge from the newborn nursery, and public insurance. Conclusions: Our implementation strategy ensured equitable access to nirsevimab for newborns, with both our high uptake and acceptance rate underscoring the effectiveness of our approach. Key strategies for success included early stakeholder engagement, multidisciplinary collaboration, and proactive logistical planning. Our approach serves as a model for other institutions to offer nirsevimab prior to hospital discharge and highlights the importance of addressing both clinical and socioeconomic barriers.

Prevention and control of cardiovascular disease in "real-world" settings: sustainable implementation of effective policies.

Global progress in addressing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has been insufficient to attain the nine WHO non-communicable disease (NCD) targets and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target of reducing premature NCD mortality by one-third by 2030. Progress has been slowest in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where addressing the CVD burden is a foremost development imperative. This review examines the reasons for this situation to propose a way forward. First, we review policy instruments to address behavioral and metabolic risk factors of CVD and health system interventions to improve cardiovascular outcomes. Second, we illustrate the financial, health workforce, health system challenges, and weak national capacity that impede the implementation of these policy instruments. Third, we discuss how LMIC might move forward despite these challenges by (a) giving due consideration to contextual and other factors that determine the success of policy implementation (b) including affordable, high-impact interventions as the core of the universal health coverage health benefit package with primary health care as the foundation and (c) by taking note of the WHO guidance provided in the 2023-2030 implementation roadmap for the Global Action Plan for prevention and control of NCD.
