Abstract
Background
The CFIR Process domain can be used to evaluate practices that are associated with successful or unsuccessful implementation. The purpose of this study was to understand the processes that led to successful implementation of the PAL Card QIP during the height of the pandemic from the provider champion’s perspective.
Methods
Qualitative interviews with n=11 champions who completed the PAL Card QIP were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded using the CFIR Process Domain.
Results
Major themes regarding the process of implementation included engaging (e.g., staff and family), executing (adapting to different situations), planning (e.g., having a clear plan of implementation), and reflecting and evaluating (e.g., taking time to evaluate the project). Discussion: Providers articulated strategies that contributed to successful implementation during a global pandemic, which can help inform future quality improvement projects. Implications for practice and policy will be discussed.
