The Key Driver Implementation Scale (KDIS) for practice facilitators: Psychometric testing in the "Southeastern collaboration to improve blood pressure control" trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Practice facilitators (PFs) provide tailored support to primary care practices to improve the quality of care delivery. Often used by PFs, the "Key Driver Implementation Scale" (KDIS) measures the degree to which a practice implements quality improvement activities from the Chronic Care Model, but the scale's psychometric properties have not been investigated. We examined construct validity, reliability, floor and ceiling effects, and a longitudinal trend test of the KDIS items in the Southeastern Collaboration to Improve Blood Pressure Control trial.

Methods

The KDIS items assess a practice's progress toward implementing: a clinical information system (using their own data to drive change); standardized care processes; optimized team care; patient self-management
