Aspects of FRAM functions

Aspect Description Examples from the Evaluate Outcomes function in the work-as-imagined model
Input What activates the function Initiated by project team
Output The result of the function New insights into long-term outcomes of disease or treatment; verification of completeness of data or coverage of follow-up programme; critical reflection on outcomes by multidisciplinary team
Precondition What needs to be verified before the function is carried out, but does not activate the function itself No coupling observed
Resource or execution condition What is consumed by the function while the function is active. A Resource diminishes while function is active, but an execution condition does not Patient data from follow-up, patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM), multidisciplinary team, patient participation, patient satisfaction data, patient data from initial treatment
Control What supervises or regulates the function in order to produce the desired Output No coupling observed
Time Temporal relations between one function and others; in some cases, Time can also be seen as a Precondition, Resource or Control aspect Yearly evaluation and improvement sessions
