An overview of methods to support adaptation and fidelity in the new QUERI Implementation Roadmap David presented on the VA QUERI Implementation Roadmap, including: The theoretical and methodologic influences underlying the Roadmap’s recommendations for balancing fidelity with the need for adaption(s) · Recommendations for pre-implementation planning to enhance the usability and acceptability of effective practices across diverse sites · Considerations for dynamically supporting fidelity and adaptation over time to sustain clinical effectiveness of the clinical practice · Integration of tools and methods to monitor adaptations and fidelity over time to support organizational learning |

Adaptation, Fidelity, and Tailoring group AFT call IDEA and FRAME “What’s the Big I.D.E.A.? An Iterative Flowmap for Cataloguing Modifications in Implementation Science.” Dr. Miller discussed two new modification frameworks based on work with Shannon Wiltsey Stirman, Ana Baumann, and others. First, the IDEA is an iterative decision tree spelling out the modification process. Second, the FRAME-IS is based heavily on the ‘FRAME’ and is intended for documenting modifications to implementation strategies. |

Monica Perez Jolles |
May Adaptation, Fidelity, and Tailoring group AFT call Dr. Mónica Pérez Jolles, an assistant professor at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, is a health services researcher and implementation research scientist. Her work focuses on examining health delivery arrangements, implemented in under-resourced clinical settings, to address health disparities. She will be presenting on the concepts of forms and functions, with a concrete application in Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) health settings as complex health systems. Please read the attached article prior to this session.

Form and function: follow up discussion on the applicability of these concepts in the VA Dr. Moore, Dr. Perez Jolles, Borsika and Russ will led a follow up discussion to Dr. Mónica Pérez Jolles presentation last month on form and function. During this discussion we explored how these concepts apply and can be operationalized in various settings with special focus on the VA context. |

Summary: Collaborative decision-making is an approach that assigns equal power and responsibility to patients and providers across all aspects of decision-making, and is preferred by Veterans with serious mental illness and associated with a number of positive outcomes. In the current study, we are systematically adapting a group skills training intervention intended to increase collaborative decision-making between Veterans with serious mental illness and their mental health providers. The study is just about to begin data collection, and so feedback into the methods and analysis will be welcomed. |

Using FRAME to track adaptations to an evidence-based colorectal cancer screening outreach program Promoting uptake of evidence-based innovations in healthcare systems requires attention to how innovations are adapted to enhance their fit with a given setting. Using BENEFIT as an example, I will share how two Medicaid health plans, operating in two states, made real-world changes to their direct-to-member mailed fecal test outreach programs. |
