Steps of the Logic Model	Application of the steps for the guide
Step 1: Preparation for the development of the Logic Model. Consider: The type of stakeholders who should be involved (such as program staff, board members, funders) Decision making (and who has decision making power) Resources The scope of the program/logic model	Based on the findings of an integrative literature review and interviews with stakeholders involved in the implementation and roll-out of a best practice: Stake-holders and decision making: leaders (who are decision makers) from all levels of the health system should be involved in the development of the operational plan Resources: Pre-implementation/roll-out of best practices: existing resources and structures should be analysed Scope: developing a guide which can help to create an operational plan for the use of benefit levers in the roll-out of best practices in organizations and departments
Step 2: Development and assembling information During assembling and developing the following should be considered: Resources Activities Outputs Outcomes Impact Outcomes can involve individual, community, systematic, organizational, and short-term, mid-term, and long-term outcomes	The following aspects were included: Resources/inputs Activities (pre-, during, and post roll-out) Outputs Outcomes Impact Findings identified per benefit lever were included, as well as the levels responsible for carrying out the activities
Step 3: Creation of the Logic Model The determination of the scope of logic model: What should be included and described (content) and the depth (scope) The layout of the model (e.g. a chart form with arrows and lines showing connectedness of the components)	Content and scope: the interviews determined the scope and content of the guide such as the specific levels and activities pre-, during and post-implementation and rollout of best practices, using Edwards and Grinspun's benefit levers as a framework Layout: Word-document with a model outlining a summary of the guide using rectangles connected by arrows The draft guide was reviewed using an expert panel (see phase 2) Revision of the guide should be done at least annually
Step 4: Reviewing and revising the Logic Model The Logic Model should be reviewed to determine whether all relevant aspects such as short and long-term outcomes and objectives have been included; whether the model is logical, and; whether the layout is appropriate
