From: Selecting and tailoring implementation interventions: a concept mapping approach
Priority | Strategies | Importance | Feasibility | Reported Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Offer an electronic fillable FOCUS form (e.g. on tablet/iPad/online/laptop) | 4.1 | 4.5 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
2 | Share what is done at the ministry level to look at program effectiveness using the FOCUS | 4.1 | 4.4 | SLPs will know what happens to the FOCUS data they collect and submit |
3 | Make translations of FOCUS available | 4.1 | 4.4 | The data collected from FOCUS will be clinically valid |
4 | Improve readability of the FOCUS (e.g. increase the font size and bubble size, shading the items) | 4.1 | 4.3 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
5 | Make sure FOCUS scores can support functional/clinically-related activities (e.g. helping clinicians form goals) | 4.1 | 4.1 | SLPs will know how they can use the FOCUS data in their practice |
6 | Offer a way for FOCUS to be completed and submitted by parents at home e.g. online/over the phone | 4.1 | 4 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
7 | Keep the dialogue open with SLPs to see what can be improved/ changed | 4 | 4.3 | Research on the FOCUS will incorporate clinical expertise, and be more relevant to practice |
8 | Provide a way that automatically calculates scores/statistics of FOCUS (including change scores from the last FOCUS and the subscale scores) | 4.2 | 3.8 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
9 | Make sure FOCUS is valid even if different parents/caregivers/SLPs are completing them | 3.9 | 4.6 | The data collected from FOCUS will be clinically valid |
10 | Create an electronic system that streamlines all administration of FOCUS (e.g. can see all FOCUS of the same child in tabs) | 3.9 | 3.5 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
11 | Share successful research findings with the use of FOCUS (specify the details of the intervention and how FOCUS data was collected) | 3.8 | 4.8 | SLPs will know how submitted FOCUS data was used in clinical research |
12 | Change the schedule of FOUCS such that administration is timed to clinical appointments (e.g. assessment/intervention/discharge) rather than saying every 6 months | 3.8 | 3.3 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
13 | Remove the need to transfer FOCUS score by having an app that connects FOCUS data to the ministry (i.e. remove the need to transfer paper to electronic format) | 3.8 | 3.5 | Improves data collection/submission environment |
14 | Provide more timely feedback about FOCUS outcomes to SLPs (rather than at PSL meetings only) | 3.7 | 4.3 | SLPs will know what happens to the FOCUS data they collect and submit |
