- Title:
- Quantitative approaches for the evaluation of implementation research studies
- Original Bibliographic Citation:

- Abstract:
- Implementation research necessitates a shift from clinical trial methods in both the conduct of the study and in the way that it is evaluated given the focus on the impact of implementation strategies. That is, the methods or techniques to support the adoption and delivery of a clinical or preventive intervention, program, or policy. As strategies target one or more levels within the service delivery system, evaluating their impact needs to follow suit. This article discusses the methods and practices involved in quantitative evaluations of implementation research studies. We focus on evaluation methods that characterize and quantify the overall impacts of an implementation strategy on various outcomes. This article discusses available measurement methods for common quantitative implementation outcomes involved in such an evaluationadoption, fidelity, implementation cost, reach, and sustainmentand the sources of such data for these metrics using established taxonomies and frameworks. Last, we present an example of a quantitative evaluation from an ongoing randomized rollout implementation trial of the Collaborative Care Model for depression management in a large primary healthcare system.

27. Disaster and Mass Casualty Incident Responses by Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review Protocol
- Title:
- Disaster and Mass Casualty Incident Responses by Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review Protocol
- Description:
- An a priori scoping review protocol submission to the Northwestern DigitalHub (an institutional repository for the research and scholarly output of Northwestern Medicine) following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols.
- Abstract:
- Critical care has displayed an interest in the field of disaster and mass casualty incident response (2). A disaster refers to a man-made or natural event requiring resources from outside a local community to return to pre-event status (3). An incident occurs secondary to similar hazards, requiring an emergency response to protect life, however, may not require resources from outside a local community (4). A mass casualty incident focuses on healthcare system capacity, where casualties rapidly exceed capabilities (5). Here we focus on the timeframe of acute response by intensive care units (ICUs) themselves: a relief phase - where lifesaving and mitigation efforts dominate - and a subsequent recovery phase - where efforts return systems to pre-event status. Significant infrastructure, personnel and equipment resources are required to operate ICUs (6). Disasters and mass casualty incidents are known to result in an influx of critically ill patients (2). Thus, ICU populations must be thought of as especially at risk.Yet, there remains a paucity of well-compiled data from the front-lines of ICU response initiatives, hampering evidence-based guideline production (2). Disaster research theory, though, is well-established (3). Categorical, continuous, or even narrative data reported by responders in the midst of response initiatives represent evidence (7). It is possible that through initial publication and valuating of such reports, we may illuminate intervention effects, variation in experience and practice, and identify gaps and inconsistencies in the literature.The purpose of this scoping review will be to compile and analyze ICU disaster and mass casualty incident response experiences. We intend to characterize ICU experiences - reported by ICUs themselves - to organize quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data, in the form of categorical and continuous items reported, will be assessed. Qualitative analyses will be undertaken through narrative inquiry of anecdotes. Outcomes of interest include identification of trends, analyses of existing reports for consistency, typical experience strengths or weaknesses, lessons learned, and best practices. This scoping review represents the first published data compilation and analysis of ICU disaster and mass casualty incident response initiatives.

- Abstract:
- Study objectiveTo describe recent practice patterns of preoperative tests and to examine their association with 90-day all-cause readmissions and length of stay.DesignRetrospective cohort study using the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS).SettingSPARCS from March 1, 2016, to July 1, 2017.ParticipantsAdults undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR) or Total Knee Replacement (TKR) had a preoperative screening outpatient visit within two months before their surgery.InterventionsElectrocardiogram (EKG), chest X-ray, and seven preoperative laboratory tests (RBCs antibody screen, Prothrombin time (PT) and Thromboplastin time, Metabolic Panel, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Nasal DNA probe, Urinalysis, Urine culture) were identified.Primary and secondary outcome measuresRegression analyses were utilized to determine the association between each preoperative test and two postoperative outcomes (90-day all-cause readmission and length of stay). Regression models adjusted for hospital-level random effects, patient demographics, insurance, hospital TKR, THR surgical volume, and comorbidities. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using the subset of patients with no comorbidities.ResultsFifty-five thousand ninety-nine patients (60% Female, mean age 66.1+/9.8 SD) were included. The most common tests were metabolic panel (74.5%), CBC (66.8%), and RBC antibody screen (58.8%). The least common tests were MRSA Nasal DNA probe (13.0%), EKG (11.7%), urine culture (10.7%), and chest X-ray (7.9%). Carrying out MRSA testing, urine culture, and EKG was associated with a lower likelihood of 90-day all-cause readmissions. The length of hospital stay was not associated with carrying out any preoperative tests. Results were similar in the subset with no comorbidities.ConclusionsWide variation exists in preoperative tests before THR and TKR. We identified three preoperative tests that may play a role in reducing readmissions. Further investigation is needed to evaluate these findings using more granular clinical data.
