Questions

What was your idea and original conception of the intervention? Why was this the best model for your specific location? How did you go about implementing the intervention? What resources were necessary to implement your intervention (staff, type of EHR, etc.)? What were major barriers or difficulties you encountered? How was the intervention adjusted, or what steps did you take to overcome these barriers? For more detail, please discuss barriers in terms of the following: Administration Providers (clinicians and staff) Patients Technical/operational difficulties What, if anything, was easier than you expected? What are some of your lessons learned? What would you do differently? Did the intervention generate interest in birth-cohort testing more generally, beyond the population involved in the trial? Among health care providers/clinic staff? Among the patient population? Has BEST-C raised community awareness for birth-cohort testing? Has there been any lasting impact of implementing a short-term intervention to improve birth-cohort testing? Have providers participating in the intervention continued to offer birth-cohort testing after the end of the intervention? Has any of the information learned from BEST-C been disseminated throughout your organization? Have other parts of your organization used those lessons learned to implement birth-cohort testing on a wider scale? Did your intervention reduce the burden on the medical provider?
