Description

Tool to support local realisation of the national model a,b

A tool to support local realisation of the national model for project leaders that want to set up integrated care in their municipality [49]. This tool describes the phases and steps that are important in developing and implementing the approach. The tool was based on the learned lessons of the participants of the learning community, as well as the developmental model for integrated care (DMIC) [40]

Instruments accompanying the tool for local realisation *a

(1) A science- and practice-based module describing the reasons for monitoring the integrated care and the steps needed to set up and execute a local monitoring process [50]

(2) An instrument to monitor local implementation of the integrated care [51], based on the developmental model for integrated care (DMIC) [40]. This instrument, a questionnaire to monitor local integrated care of childhood overweight and obesity (TICCO), has two versions: one version for professionals operating in a central position within integrated care practice (such as coordinating professionals and project leaders) and another for local executing professionals (such as youth nurses and general practitioners). The development of the TICCO is described in Koetsier et al. 2020 [52]

(3) An overview of possible reasons for municipalities to opt for the integrated care based on what participants learned in the learning community and national advisers with experience in supporting local realisation of the approach [53]

(4) An overview of practical obstacles when locally developing integrated care and practice-based suggestions on how to tackle these [54]

(5) A practice-based format for a stakeholder analysis in order to map out important organisations when realising the integrated care locally [55]

(6) A practice-based format to draw up a project plan when realising the integrated care locally [56]

(7) A practice-based overview of relevant activities and professionals to analyse when realising the integrated care locally [57]

(8) A practice-based profile for a project leader that can help select the right person to fulfil this role locally [58]

  1. *In total eight instruments were developed, in collaboration with participants of the learning community, to supplement the tool in supporting local realisation of the national model
