Table 2 Adaptations Tracking: Additions to the FRAME. This abridged version of tracking adaptations includes four new elements that are not included in the FRAME: implementation stage, need for the adaptation, goal of the adaptation, and unintended consequences. Setting and the adaptation itself are also tracked. Emerging adaptations centered around material affixation or organizational-driven adaptations. This figure is our own, created by authorship team

From: Developing best practices for PPE Portraits across 25 sites: a systematic assessment of implementation and spread of adaptations using FRAME

 

Implementation Stage

Need

Adaptation

Goal of Adaptation

Setting

Unintended Consequences

Material and Affixation Adaptations

Early Development

Lighter, less noticeable portrait

Smaller portrait

Clinician comfort

Assisted living center

Reduced materials

Early development

Eliminate sharp portrait edges

Rounded edges

Patient safetyclinician convenience

Assisted living center

Increased up front resources and time

Imminent rollout

Ease wearing portrait

Button portrait

Scale

Outpatient care

Greater social acceptance; confusion around button’s purpose (i.e. who is the portrait subject)

Early Development

Long-term use PPE portrait, less on-site process management

Reusable laminated portrait

Scale

Schools, assisted living center

Lower management cost

Early Development

Reduce risk of cross-contamination

Non-reusable sticker portrait

Patient and clinician safety

Hospital in-patient care

Lower fidelity images

Implemented/in use

Effective but non-damaging decontaminate

70 % alcoholdecontaminate

Patient and clinician safety

All

Increased frequency of decontamination

Organizational Adaptations

Imminent rollout

Quality, high fidelity pictures

Onsite portrait day before staff meeting

Clinician convenience

All

Larger staff buy-in; risk spreading COVID-19 during inside photoshoot so moved to an outside location

Early Development

Intervention uptake

Administrator plus clinician lead

Scale

Hospital, assisted living center

Few to no adaptations post implementation

Imminent rollout

Organization recognition

Organization logo in corner of the portrait

Patient trust

Traveling COVID-19 testers

Greater social acceptance; PPE Portrait appeared branded/commercial
