Table 1.

Facilitators and Barriers of the BETTER 2 program described using the CFIR

CFIR domain Key element Barrier Facilitator
Intervention characteristic Complexity Amount of material was perceived as overwhelming and time consuming Strong evidence for intervention (previous RCT)
Patients liked comprehensiveness (multifactorial approach as opposed to specific disease or organ)
Cost Perception of intervention being too costly Perception of intervention being cost effective (investing in prevention offsets acute care costs)
Outer setting Perception of fit Lack of remuneration
Lack of resources (particularly staff)
Physicians’ perception that PP’s prevention visit is a duplication of services
Perception by other stakeholders (including managers) that CDPS is a “hot topic”
Patients’ perception of visits as valuable, necessary and motivating
Characteristics of individuals The PPs Barrier did not emerge from data Interest in prevention
Ability to support and motivate patients
Inner setting Local champion Lack of local champion or losing a local champion (e.g., physician left community) Facilitator did not emerge from data
Working in a team versus working as a team Not working as a team (e.g., team tensions, lack of relationship, competition, unclear roles) Working as a team (e.g., trust; physicians appreciating PPs structuring CDPS)
Process Planning and engaging Not including collaborators enough in planning process Starting collaborative conversations early
Collaboration and teamwork Lack of awareness/misconception of BETTER approach Availability of team members, frequent and open conversations
