Protocol - Adoption of Genetic Services: Healthcare Settings

Add to My Toolkit
Description

The adoption dimension of RE-AIM includes a four-item checklist used to evaluate the characteristics of settings that participate in offering genetic services or a new genetic services intervention.

Specific Instructions

This protocol can be used to assess adoption by healthcare settings. Use of the protocol depends on the intervention or goal of the study. Adoption can be reported by the setting (e.g., hospital, academic medical center, freestanding emergency room/urgent care, Veterans Administration, federally qualified health center, outpatient clinic, private practice). Adoption can also be reported by individuals (staff/providers) or confirmed in medical records or other documents. Characteristics of interest for the staff/providers may include age, gender, specialty, practice, setting, and years in practice.

The Genomic Medicine Implementation Working Group recommends that the same questions for settings are asked about providers. The user should replace the word “settings” with “providers” and note the characteristics of interest (for item 3) that were described earlier. 

This protocol is for Implementation Science purposes and should be used when interventions (e.g., genetic services, genetic testing or delivery interventions related to genetic services) are planned or being conducted.

Protocol
  1. Record the number of settings that you exclude from participation and why.

           ________________________

  1. Record the percent of eligible settings that agree to participate in your study.

          ________________________

  1. Compare differences between those settings participating and those not participating on relevant characteristics such as size of organization, type of business, previous health promotion programs, number of employees/students/constituents, any policies regarding the target behaviors of interest or other key variables.

           ________________________

  1. Record reasons that settings/organizations refused to participate in the study.
