Lessons Learned and Applied in Facilitating Training and Implementation

	Lessons Learned and Applied
Facilitating Training
Participant Selection	• Selection of trainees should be based on motivation and interest
	• Where possible, trainees should have similar levels of baseline knowledge
	• Trainees should commit to some performance standards, as well as set individual goals
Training Content and Process	• Trainers should be familiar with trainees' work environment
	• Certification or a marketable skill should be offered to motivate trainees
Consultation & Coaching	• Individual goals should guide post-training activities
	• Post-training consultation should be targeted to concerns expressed by trainees
	• Regular coaching should emphasize initial goals and performance standards
	• Goals should be modified if necessary as the process unfolds
Facilitating Implementation
Evaluation Approach	• Utilize objective assessment of skills acquisition
	• Concrete site-specific outcomes should be assessed
	• Multiple follow up goal assessments allow for real time feedback to the extent possible
Administrative Support	• Collaboration between administrators and clinicians should ensure mutually-identified goals
	• Administrators should agree to commit the resources necessary to accomplish goals
	• Each stakeholder should receive recognition for efforts from administrators
Systems Intervention	• All stakeholders should be engaged in implementation and monitoring
