Monitoring and evaluating an implementation strategy aimed at improving interprofessional collaboration in community-based fall prevention: a mixed-methods study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundInterprofessional collaboration (IPC) among health and social care providers is crucial to effectively implement community-based fall prevention. Several factors hinder successful and sustainable IPC, highlighting the need to both design and evaluate context-specific implementation strategies. However, there remains a fundamental gap in the detailed description and evaluation of such strategies. Therefore, this study aims to (1) monitor the implementation process over time and (2) evaluate the impact of a multifaceted implementation strategy aimed at improving interprofessional collaboration among health and social care professionals in community-based fall prevention.
methodsThis study was conducted in two districts and one municipality in the Netherlands. We conducted a longitudinal mixed-methods study with a convergent design, emphasizing qualitative methodology. Over 24 months, qualitative (focus groups and regular meetings) and quantitative (questionnaires) data were collected semi-annually from three working groups of health and social care professionals (HSCPs). Qualitative and quantitative data were initially analyzed separately, followed by an integrated analysis for comprehensive insights on themes influencing the implementation process and the impact of the strategy on IPC and implementation outcomes.
resultsIn total, 32 HSCPs originating from three communities participated in this study. Monitoring and evaluation of the multifaceted implementation strategy revealed four overarching themes: (1) "Network building", including aspects and activities that contribute to network building; (2) "Team dynamics", referring to interactions within the working groups; (3) "Coordination", addressing the coordination of implementation and establishment of protocols and work flows; and (4) "Implementation dynamics" highlighting aspects that influence the implementation process and outcomes.
conclusionsThis study identified four key themes influencing the implementation process and impact of a multifaceted implementation strategy aimed at improving IPC among HSCPs in community-based fall prevention: network building, team dynamics, coordination and implementation dynamics. Monitoring and evaluation are crucial for identifying the specific activities needed to effectively implement interventions in real-world settings. Given the complexity of implementation processes and ongoing contextual changes, continuous adjustments are necessary. An iterative monitoring and evaluation approach, as used in this study, enables these adaptations and maximizes real-world impact.
