Factors influencing consumer Outcome Monitoring in implementation of evidence-based practices: results from the National EBP Implementation Project.

摘要

OBJECTIVE: This study reports participating agencies use of a single fidelity dimension, Outcome Monitoring, during the 2-year National EBP Implementation Project. METHOD: The study involved an emerging theme qualitative approach for analyzing the implementation of fidelity achieved for five EBPs in 49 sites across eight states. RESULTS: Twenty-seven percent of the sites reached a high level of implementation fidelity. CONCLUSION: Results suggest that four interrelated factors contributed to whether agencies successfully implemented Outcome Monitoring-agency data collection methods, agency culture, practitioner skill, and how well "consumer outcomes" are defined.
