Table 2 Aspects of FRAM functions
Aspect | Description | Examples from the Evaluate Outcomes function in the work-as-imagined model |
|---|---|---|
Input | What activates the function | Initiated by project team |
Output | The result of the function | New insights into long-term outcomes of disease or treatment; verification of completeness of data or coverage of follow-up programme; critical reflection on outcomes by multidisciplinary team |
Precondition | What needs to be verified before the function is carried out, but does not activate the function itself | No coupling observed |
Resource or execution condition | What is consumed by the function while the function is active. A Resource diminishes while function is active, but an execution condition does not | Patient data from follow-up, patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM), multidisciplinary team, patient participation, patient satisfaction data, patient data from initial treatment |
Control | What supervises or regulates the function in order to produce the desired Output | No coupling observed |
Time | Temporal relations between one function and others; in some cases, Time can also be seen as a Precondition, Resource or Control aspect | Yearly evaluation and improvement sessions |
