Focus	Data	Evidence of treatment fidelity
Delivery	Environment/policy assessments (component I)	Completion of assessments by Fam-FFC Research Nurse
	Education: percentage of nurses exposed (component II)	80% of all nursing Staff working on participating nursing units (no. exposed/total no. nursing staf)†

	Environment/policy assessments	Evidence of change(s) made over the course of the study
	Goal attainment scaling	Positive goal attainment scores incorporated into care plans and expected outcomes evaluated at discharge The Goal Attainment Scaling [41] evaluated the FCG/patient views on the degree to which goals were met using the following scale:-2 (much less than expected), -1 (less than expected), 0 (expected), +1 (greater than expected) and +2 (much greater than expected)
Enactment	FFC behavior checklist	Performance of Fam-FFC by nurses based on observations of care interactions in the hospital
