Intensification of Implementation Strategies: Developing a Model of Foundational and Enhanced Implementation Approaches to Support National Adoption and Scale-up.

ABSTRACT: Implementation strategies are activities to support integration of evidence-based programs (EBPs) into routine care. Comprised of 170+ facilities, the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System is conducive to evaluating feasibility and scalability of implementation strategies on a national level. In previous work evaluating implementation of three EBPs for older Veterans (hospital-based walking, caregiver skills training, group physical therapy), we found facilities varied in their need for implementation support, with some needing minimal guidance and others requiring intensive support. Committed to national scalability, our team developed an implementation intensification model consisting of foundational (low-touch) and enhanced (high-touch) implementation support.
