Stages of multi-method process mapping

Stage. Goal	Sample	Method	Analytic approach
Stage 1. To characterize “process as envisioned”	Implementation team (including any stakeholder informing the process “as envisioned”)	1.Introduce and complete process maps, individually 2.Conduct focus group to generate consensus on process “as envisioned”	A priori and/or emergent coding structure in a process of coding consensus, co-occurrence, and constant comparison to characterize: a.Planned adaptations (“as envisioned”) and ad hoc modifications (“as realized in practice”); b.When and how modifications occurred; and c.Content and context, and motivation.
Stage 2. To characterize “process as realized in practice”	Frontline administrators (including any stakeholders informing process “as realized in practice”)	Semi-structured interviews, with guided process map activity
Stage 3. To validate study findings (optional).	Implementation team and/or frontline administrators	Focus groups, presenting process maps, and/or summary of qualitative tables (e.g., Tables 3, 4, and 5)	A priori and/or emergent coding structure to capture whether respondents are in agreement with synthesis of study findings and rationale for concordant/discordant perspective.
