Using cognitive interviews to improve a measure of organizational readiness for implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Organizational readiness is a key factor for successful implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), but a valid and reliable measure to assess readiness across contexts and settings is needed. The R = MC² heuristic posits that organizational readiness stems from an organization's motivation, capacity to implement a specific innovation, and its general capacity. This paper describes a process used to examine the face and content validity of items in a readiness survey developed to assess organizational readiness (based on R = MC²) among federally qualified health centers (FQHC) implementing colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) EBIs.

Methods

We conducted 20 cognitive interviews with FQHC staff (clinical and non-clinical) in South Carol
