Investigating barriers & facilitators for the successful implementation of the BP@home initiative in London: Primary care perspectives.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of a national policy of shielding to safeguard clinically vulnerable patients. To ensure consistent care for high-risk patients with hypertension, NHS England introduced the BP@home initiative to enable patients to self-monitor their blood pressure by providing them with blood pressure monitors. This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the initiative based on the experience and perspectives of programme managers and healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in its implementation in London. We conducted five semi-structured focus groups and one individual interview with a total of 20 healthcare professionals involved at different levels and stages in the BP@home initiative across four of the five London Integrated Care Systems (ICSs). All focus groups and interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically following the Framework Method. Respondents reported being challenged by the lack of adequate IT, human and financial resources to support the substantial additional workload associated with the programme. These issues resulted in and reinforced the differential engagement capacities of PCNs, practices and patients, thus raising equity concerns among respondents. However respondents also identified several facilitators, including the integration of the eligibility criteria into the electronic health record (EHR), especially when combined with the adoption of practice-specific, pragmatic and opportunistic approaches to the onboarding of patients. Respondents also recommended the provision of blood pressure monitors (BPMs) on prescription, additional funding and training based on needs assessment, the incorporation of BP@home into daily practice and simplification of IT tools, and finally the adoption of a person-centred care approach. Contextualised using the second iteration of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), these findings support key evidence-based recommendations to help streamline the implementation of the BP@home initiative in London's primary care setting. Programs such as BP@Home are likely to become more common in primary care. To successfully support HCPs' aim to care for their hypertensive patients, their implementation must be accompanied by additional financial, human and training resources, as well as supported task-shifting for capacity building. Future studies should explore the perspectives of HCPs based in other parts of the UK as well as patients' experiences with remote monitoring of blood pressure.

Epidrugs: alternative chemotherapy targeting Theileria annulata schizont stage parasites.

The growing emergence of resistance to current anti-theilerial agents necessitates the exploration of alternative approaches to drug discovery. This study evaluated the antiparasitic efficacy of 148 compounds derived from an epigenetic inhibitor library against the schizont stage of a Theileria annulata-infected cell line. Initial screening at a concentration of 10 µM identified 27 compounds exhibiting promising anti-theilerial activity. Further investigation, including determination of the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) and host cell cytotoxicity assay, highlighted seven highly effective compounds (SAHA, BVT-948, Trichostatin A, Methylstat, Plumbagin, Ryuvidine, and TCE-5003) against T. annulata-infected cells. Analysis of the active compounds revealed their inhibitory action against various human targets, such as HDAC (SAHA and Trichostatin A), SET domain (Ryuvidine), PRMT (BVT-948 and TCE-5003), histone demethylase (Methylstat), and ROS/apoptosis inducer (Plumbagin). We identified gene orthologs of these targets in Theileria and conducted molecular docking studies, demonstrating effective binding of the compounds with their respective targets in the parasite, supported by in vitro data. Additionally, we performed in silico ADME/T predictions, which indicated potential mutagenic and hepatotoxic effects of Plumbagin, Methylstat, and TCE-5003, rendering them unsuitable for drug development. Conversely, SAHA, Trichostatin A, and BVT-948 showed promising characteristics and may represent potential candidates for future development as chemotherapeutic agents against tropical theileriosis. These findings provide valuable insights into the search for novel anti-theilerial drugs and offer a basis for further research in this area.IMPORTANCETheileria annulata is a protozoan parasite responsible for tropical theileriosis, a devastating disease affecting cattle. Traditional chemotherapy has limitations, and the study explores the potential of epidrugs as an alternative treatment approach. Epidrugs are compounds that modify gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence, offering a novel way to combat parasitic infections. This research is pivotal as it addresses the urgent need for innovative therapies against T. annulata, contributing to the development of more effective and targeted treatments for infected livestock. Successful implementation of epidrugs could not only enhance the well-being of cattle but also have broader implications for the control of parasitic diseases, showcasing the paper's significance in advancing veterinary science and improving livestock health globally.

Drivers of success: improving implementation research tools for better health outcomes.

A thorough examination of context, and how it influences implementation of evidence-based interventions, is a promising strategy for enhancing child survival initiatives. Spreading approaches that are identified as drivers of successful reduction in under-five mortality from 'exemplar' countries could be pivotal in leading to reductions in other settings facing stagnant mortality rates, in particular for low- and middle-income countries with high disease burden and insufficient programmatic capacity to effectively implement evidence-based interventions at scale. Yet there remains a lack of robust analytic methods to accurately assess mortality and describe the drivers of interventions' implementation success at both national and subnational levels. The field of implementation science and its defining targets and tools is well positioned to address this knowledge gap by integrating qualitative and quantitative research methods into an adaptable evaluation framework that can be tailored to meet the specific needs across varying country contexts. These tools enhance the measurement of population health outcomes and provide crucial evidence on implementation barriers and facilitators that can inform policies that can be adjusted for diverse contexts. This commentary aims to emphasize the role of implementation research in understanding how exemplar countries achieved significant improvements in child survival and in identifying replicable lessons for other settings. Ultimately, all manuscripts underscore the relevance of implementation research in bolstering the reduction of under-five mortality.

Lessons from Peru to reduce under-5 mortality: understanding program implementation and context

BackgroundHealth policymakers aiming to reduce under-5 mortality (U5M) often lack data regarding how successful interventions in other countries were implemented. The Exemplars in U5M Study identified countries that achieved significant reductions in amenable U5M. This case study in Peru used implementation research to explore the contextual factors and strategies that contributed to the successful implementation of key evidence-based interventions (EBIs).MethodsThis research utilized a hybrid implementation research framework and a mixed-methods approach to understand the factors associated with EBI implementation and the successful reduction of U5M between 2000–2015. A desk review of existing literature on EBIs and U5M in Peru was completed, and in-depth interviews were performed with key Peruvian informants to understand the implementation strategies employed and the contextual factors that facilitated or were barriers to success. For the purposes of this analysis, three EBIs were selected and evaluated: antenatal care visits (ANC), facility-based deliveries, and infant vaccination.ResultsBetween 2000–2015, the percent of mothers attending at least four antenatal care visits rose from 69% to 96.9%, and the percent of facility-based deliveries increased from 56 to 91%. Three doses of the tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis vaccine, widely acknowledged as a key global health indicator, reached 90% by 2015. Key informants noted that economic growth, financial reforms, strong national commitment to reduce poverty in Peru, and national prioritization of maternal and child health, were important contextual factors that contributed to the successful reduction of U5M. They noted key strategies that helped achieve success during the implementation of EBIs, including utilization of data for decision-making, adaptation driven by cultural sensitivity to address gaps in coverage, and a focus on equity and anti-poverty initiatives with the participation of government, civil society, and political parties to assure continuity of policies.ConclusionSeveral EBIs contributed to the successful reduction of U5M in Peru between 2000–2015. Strategies such as the focus on equity throughout the study period contributed to an increase in coverage of EBIs like ANC visits, facility-based deliveries and infant vaccination which worked to reduce U5M. Understanding how Peru successfully implemented programs that reduced preventable infant and child deaths could be useful to replicating this substantial public health success in other low- and middle-income countries.

Evaluation of Success and Failure Factors for Maternal and Child Health in Integrated Healthcare Center Information Systems (IHCIS) Using the HOT-Fit Method

Background: Maternal and child health in Integrated Healthcare Center Information Systems (IHCIS) has been implemented in several community health centers. Some have been implemented successfully, but others have failed. Many factors influence the success and failure of IHCIS implementation. Thus, knowing these factors can be used to assist the decision-making process in implementing IHCIS. Objective: This research aims to determine the factors affecting the success and failure of IHCIS for maternal and child health using the HOT-Fit (Human, Organization, Technology, and Fit) model. Methods: This research begins with preliminary research to identify the problem, determine research variables, and collect data. It uses quantitative and qualitative approaches. A quantitative approach is conducted at locations that have successfully implemented IHCIS. The data collection instrument uses a questionnaire. A qualitative approach was conducted in locations that were still experiencing failure in implementing IHCIS. Data collection techniques through direct interviews. Results: Organizational factors do not fully determine the success or failure of the information system. Factors supporting the success of IHCIS are human (user satisfaction and system use) and technological factors (quality of information and the quality of service). However, technology (system quality and information quality) is the main factor in the failure of IHCIS implementation. Problems with system quality include the system login, limited access to the internet, and an information system that is not in accordance with requirements. The perceived information obstacle is that the system is not yet integrated, and the information produced is incomplete. Conclusion: To satisfy requirements, the information and system qualities must be enhanced. Implementing IHCIS requires an appropriate strategy according to local circumstances and conditions. This approach involves human, organizational, and technological factors. Keywords: Community Health Workers, Evaluation, HOT-Fit, Integrated Healthcare Center Information Systems, Success Factors

Inequity in the face of success: understanding geographic and wealth-based equity in success of facility-based delivery for under-5 mortality reduction in six countries

BackgroundBetween 2000–2015, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) implemented evidence-based interventions (EBIs) known to reduce under-5 mortality (U5M). Even among LMICs successful in reducing U5M, this drop was unequal subnationally, with varying success in EBI implementation. Building on mixed methods multi-case studies of six LMICs (Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nepal, Peru, Rwanda, and Senegal) leading in U5M reduction, we describe geographic and wealth-based equity in facility-based delivery (FBD), a critical EBI to reduce neonatal mortality which requires a trusted and functional health system, and compare the implementation strategies and contextual factors which influenced success or challenges within and across the countries.MethodsTo obtain equity gaps in FBD coverage and changes in absolute geographic and wealth-based equity between 2000–2015, we calculated the difference between the highest and lowest FBD coverage across subnational regions and in the FBD coverage between the richest and poorest wealth quintiles. We extracted and compared contextual factors and implementation strategies associated with reduced or remaining inequities from the country case studies.ResultsThe absolute geographic and wealth-based equity gaps decreased in three countries, with greatest drops in Rwanda – decreasing from 50 to 5% across subnational regions and from 43 to 13% across wealth quintiles. The largest increases were seen in Bangladesh – from 10 to 32% across geography – and in Ethiopia – from 22 to 58% across wealth quintiles. Facilitators to reducing equity gaps across the six countries included leadership commitment and culture of data use; in some countries, community or maternal and child health insurance was also an important factor (Rwanda and Peru). Barriers across all the countries included geography, while country-specific barriers included low female empowerment subnationally (Bangladesh) and cultural beliefs (Ethiopia). Successful strategies included building on community health worker (CHW) programs, with country-specific adaptation of pre-existing CHW programs (Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Senegal) and cultural adaptation of delivery protocols (Peru). Reducing delivery costs was successful in Senegal, and partially successful in Nepal and Ethiopia.ConclusionVariable success in reducing inequity in FBD coverage among countries successful in reducing U5M underscores the importance of measuring not just coverage but also equity. Learning from FBD interventions shows the need to prioritize equity in access and uptake of EBIs for the poor and in remote areas by adapting the strategies to local context.
