Table 4 CTAC sites’ project outcomes, coached versus non-coached

From: Toolkit and distance coaching strategies: a mixed methods evaluation of a trial to implement care coordination quality improvement projects in primary care

 

Coached Sites

Non-Coached Sites

Implementation outcomes at 12 months

 Penetration

Half of sites fully implemented across their clinic

Half of sites fully implemented across their clinic

Other half had implemented most of their projects, but had components of their complex projects still being worked on or that had been infeasible to implement

Other half either had not implemented anything or conducted limited pilots (at 12 months, one pilot was adapted to be implemented clinic-wide)

 Fidelity to site project

Good but some variable fidelity across clinic

Good but some variable fidelity across clinic

Implementation outcomes at 18 months

 Sustainability

Variable, but most components still in use, though some drop-off in practice

Variable, but most components still in use, though some drop-off in practice

 Dissemination

Ongoing work to monitor, adapt, and spread projects

Little ongoing work, several projects being fully implemented and one targeted for system-wide spread

Project reported outcomes

 Service and patient

Staff and patient satisfaction with intervention

Some tracking that identified positive service impacts

Did not systematically collect satisfaction data

Few described assessing impacts, but overall perceived positive impacts

 Staff outcomes

Improved clinic communication and relationships, gains in QI knowledge and skill, and a sense of pride and accomplishment

When learning was described it was often in relation to content of their intervention
