Table 2 Similar strategies
Strategy 1 | Strategy 2 | Frequency of response: “very clear” or “clear” difference | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
Keep strategies separate | |||
Change accreditation or membership requirements | Create or change credentialing and/or licensure standards | 67% | They’re totally different bodies that grant those credentials or license numbers, they’re very different. (P13) |
Facilitate relay of clinical data to providers | Audit and provide feedbacka | 83% | The first box is talking about “How do we get…the information or data out to the providers?”…And then the second box seems like, “How do we evaluate how it was received or if it’s being implemented?” (P04) |
Provide local technical assistance | Use an implementation advisora | 67% | So technical assistance is…if you have a dashboard, you have someone help you figure out how to find certain populations, how to navigate the dashboard. Whereas the implementation is more of, “Hey, this is what we have available for your site to help you with X, Y, and Z.”…So, implementation is strategies or tools versus the first one is helping you with how to use it. (P01) |
Strategies are so similar they can be combined | |||
Develop and implement tools for quality monitoring | Develop and organize quality monitoring systems | 25% | I mean, the word “organize” in the one is different. But I don’t know what the difference between “a quality monitoring system” and “a tool for quality monitoring” is. To me, that sounds like the same thing. (P12) |
Tailor strategies | Promote adaptability | 25% | So, when we’re tailoring strategies and promoting adaptability, when I go back and think about maybe examples, yeah it was all about how we can bring Hep C care to the patient and make that access point easier. So, I don’t think our team really distinguished between the two, and that was probably because I didn’t distinguish between the two. (P03) |
Work with educational institutions | Develop academic partnershipsa | 33% | It sounds like on the left, it’s maybe a little less committal. You’re just sort of saying, “encouraging,” whereas on the right you’re “partnering.” (P06) |
Involve patients and family members | Obtain and use patients and family feedbacka | 33% | That’s unclear as well. It just seems like it’s the same, whether you’re going to involve them or obtain and use their information. Either way, you’re still gonna involve the patient, consumers, and family to get the feedback, so it just seems like it’s a redundant question, maybe. (P10) |
Intervene with patients to enhance uptake and adherence | Prepare patients to be active participants | 33% | These seem to be similar, because you’re developing strategies for them to help you with their care for adherence and then preparing them. (P07) |
Undecided about separating or combining strategies | |||
Facilitation | Provide ongoing consultationa | 42% | When I think of “facilitation,” I think of a person in charge of some sort of process improvement project. When you use the word “consultation,” that has a clinical meaning, and so as a provider, you are talking about… a consultation [as a] patient specific review of clinical data with recommendations at the end. I don’t see that as being part of the clinical innovation. I see that as referring much more specifically to patient care activities. (P13) |
Conduct educational meetings | Conduct educational visits | 42% | Well, the first one, and if you could do that, that would be someone internally, “OK, we’re just going to do it.” And the other one would be an external trainer. (P05) |
