Overview of the four stages of the ERIC process

	Stage	Input	Task	Output
Aim 1	Stage 1	Refined compilation of discrete implementation strategies	Modified Delphi, 2 feedback rounds and consensus meeting	•Expert consensus on key concepts (definitions & ratings)
	Modified Delphi
	Stage 2	Post-consensus compilation of discrete implementation strategies	Sort the strategies in to subcategories; rate each strategy in terms of importance and feasibility	•Weighted and unweighted cluster maps
	Concept Mapping			•Ladder maps
				•Go-zone graphs
				•Importance and feasibility ratings for each strategy
Aim 2	Stage 3	•Discrete implementation strategies	Essential ratings are obtained for each strategy for three temporal frames given each scenario	For each practice change:
	Menu-Based Choice	•Practice change narrative		•Relative Essentialness Estimates for each strategy given each scenario
		•Narratives of contextual variations of practice change scenarios		•A rank list of the most common strategy recommendation combinations
				•A summary of strategies that may serve as compliments and substitutes for each other
	Stage 4	•Menu-Based Choice data summaries for each scenario	Facilitated discussion; live polling of consensus reached during discussion	For each practice change:
	Facilitated Consensus Meeting	•Importance and feasibility ratings from the concept mapping task		•Expert consensus regarding which discrete implementation strategies are of high importance
				•Context specific recommendations
