Data charting domains and explanations from implementation science frameworks

Data charting domain* Explanation
Acceptability Perception among implementation stakeholders that the intervention is agreeable, palatable or satisfactory
Adoption Intention, initial decision or action to try or employ an innovation or evidence-based practice
Appropriateness Perceived fit, relevance or compatibility of the intervention for a given practice setting, provider, target population or problem
Feasibility Extent to which the intervention can be successfully used or carried out within a given setting
Fidelity Degree to which an intervention was implemented as it was prescribed in the original protocol or as it was intended (planned and actual fidelity)
Implementation cost Cost impact of an implementation effort (influenced by intervention complexity, implementation strategy and setting)
Intervention complexity Perceived difficulty of implementation, reflected by duration, scope, radicalness, disruptiveness, centrality and intricacy and number of steps required to implement
Penetration Integration of a practice within a service setting and its subsystems
Reach The absolute number, proportion and representativeness of individuals who are willing to participate in an intervention
Sustainability Extent to which a newly implemented intervention is maintained or institutionalised within a service setting’s ongoing, stable operations
