Inner Setting: determinants, tailoring, and identification of key aspects for implementation planning.
| Construct and study results | Considerations regarding determinants | Tailoring and key aspects |
| Structural Characteristics: 2 outpatient clinics organized differently from each other | Facilitator: knowledge about the different organization and staffing may be of importance for tailoring the intervention to fit each outpatient clinics (ie, the moderator functioning). | Tailoring: one clinic designated a nurse to be the moderator, and the other clinic designated health support personnel |
| Network and Communication: weekly meetings for activity planning | Facilitator: existing meetings were considered appropriate and feasible to discuss and evaluate the implementation process in the research project. | Key aspect: use of existing weekly meetings to monitor implementation process |
| Culture: interest in innovations | Facilitator: an interest in innovations may provide opportunities to interact with end users (here HCPsa) regarding the intervention. This has the potential to support a collaborative relationship between researchers and HCPs. | Key aspect: a collaborative relationship |
| Tension for Change: improve patient follow-up | Facilitator: HCPs perceived the current situation as demanding, which could contribute to strengthened motivation to change practice (ie, intervention implementation). | Key aspect: monitoring the number of phone calls and the measurement of HRQoLb before and after intervention to visualize change |
| Leadership Engagement: the heads of the clinics were engaged and active | Facilitator: by their participation in the research project, the heads of the clinics display their commitment and accountability, which may contribute to staff engagement and support a culture for change. | Key aspect: providing anchoring and acceptance for the intervention and a change of practice |
aHCP: health care provider.
bHRQoL: health-related quality of life.
