Table 2 Implementation mapping in the SAVE-study

From: A hybrid type I, multi-center randomized controlled trial to study the implementation of a method for Sustained cord circulation And VEntilation (the SAVE-method) of late preterm and term neonates: a study protocol

Implementation mapping steps

Application in the SAVE-study

1.Conduct a needs and assets assessment and identify adopters and implementers

• Review of lessons learned in the process of the stepwise start-up of the SAVE-study, from phase I-III

• Identify a feasibility process for start-up of new sites

2.Identify adoption and implementation outcomes, performance objectives, and determinants, create matrice of change

• Identify roles and responsibilities for clinic decision makers, stakeholders, facilitators (the local SAVE-team), adopters and end-users (see Table 3)

• Identify implementation outcomes for managers, adopters and parents experiencing the SAVE-method (see Table 3)

• Defining determinants of the implementation (see Fig. 3)

3.Choose theoretical models, select or create implementation strategies

• Selection of the PARIHS framework and the implementation outcomes evaluation framework

• Development of the logic model of the SAVE-study (Fig. 3)

4.Produce implementation protocol and materials

• Develop data collection aids, instruction videos, CEPS-simulation exercises and lectures to train involved staff

• Setting up a multidisciplinary implementation group (MIG) and develop the implementation protocol

• Arrange workshops using an adoption of the Delphi model to identify questionnaires to be used when evaluating implementation outcomes

• Testing of implementation toolkit when starting up additional sites

5.Evaluate implementation outcomes

• Plan evaluation of clinical and implementation outcomes
