Supporting teams to optimize function and independence in Veterans: a multi-study program and mixed methods protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Successful implementation of new clinical programs depends on effectively establishing, reorganizing, or enhancing team structures and processes to coordinate the work of individuals who are interdependent in their tasks, manage relationships, and share responsibility for outcomes. However, a one-size-fits-all approach is rarely effective. In partnership with VA national clinical leaders and local clinical champions, the Optimizing Function and Independence VA Quality Enhancement Research Initiative program (Function QUERI) will evaluate efforts to implement team-based clinical programs for Veterans at risk for functional decline and disability.

Methods

Function QUERI will implement and evaluate three innovative, evidence-based clinical programs in VA medical cent
