RE-AIM definition and specific measurements for an EMRa-based LPVb order

RE-AIM
Dimension
Description Measurements
Reach Is the intervention reaching the target population? Newly intubated patients admitted to the ICUc
Effectiveness Does the intervention accomplish its goals?
  • Primary measure of efficacy: Proportion of patients who received an initial Vtd after a mechanical ventilator order that was adherent to LPV (≤ 8 cc/kg of PBWe)

  • Secondary measure of efficacy: Proportion of ordered Vt that was adherent to LPV (≤ 8 cc/kg of PBW)

Adoption Are those targeted to deliver the intervention participating? Proportion of patients for which EMR-based LPV order was used
Implementation Is the intervention consistently implemented? Proportion of orders where the pre-calculated Vt was used rather than the provider entering Vt (in ccf) directly
Maintenance Did the intervention become part of the routine organizational practices and maintain effectiveness? Measured as adherence to LPV order use by providers and adherence to LPV in patients one year after implementation of the EMR-based LPV order
