Traditional deductive CFIR approach versus rapid deductive CFIR approach: effectiveness and rigor

Domain Traditional CFIR approach Rapid CFIR approach
Effectiveness: evaluation objectives
 Ability to identify and describe implementation determinants Yes Yes
 Ability to provide rapid feedback to operational partners No (preliminary results only) Yes
Rigor: evaluation processes
Credibility
  Analyst authority: We had analysts with expertise in both qualitative methods and the CFIR Yes Yes
  Data accuracy: We used two analysts/interview and maintained access to the raw data in order to verify the accuracy of data, especially quotations Yes (transcripts and audio recordings) Yes (audio recordings)
  Data organization: We used matrices, allowing us to parse out and synthesize data as needed Yes Yes
Dependability
  Data comparability: We used the same interviewers and semi-structured interview guide (based on the CFIR) to ensure data was comparable across participants and facilities Yes Yes
  Coding comparability: We used the same analysts and framework to ensure coding was comparable across participants and facilities Yes Yes
  Analysis audit trail: We documented keys phases of analysis and edits in memos and/or matrices Yes Yes
Confirmability
  Data triangulation: We interviewed multiple participants at each site, allowing us to triangulate data Yes Yes
  Team reflexivity: We held weekly meetings to discuss discrepancies and refinements to coding processes Yes Yes
