Table 3 Practical robust implementation and sustainability model (PRISM) components

From: Interventions to de-implement unnecessary antibiotic prescribing for ear infections (DISAPEAR Trial): protocol for a cluster-randomized trial

PRISM domain

What are we assessing?

How will data be collected?

How will data be used?

Organizational perspective

• Preferred mechanisms to relay program changes and education to clinicians

• Baseline antibiotic prescribing patterns for AOM

• Contextual factors that may facilitate/impede watchful waiting

• Contextual factors that may facilitate/impede implementation of intervention components

• Key informant interviews (clinicians and administrators)

• Process mapping interviews (clinicians and administrators)

• Electronic health record (EHR) data

• Adapt implementation plan to meet local needs and address barriers

• Feedback baseline data to clinicians

Patient perspective

• Receptiveness to use of watchful waiting for AOM

• Contextual factors that may facilitate/impede the acceptance of watchful waiting

• Parent preferences for SDM process

• Key informant focus groups (parents)

• Adapt SDM process and education for clinicians to meet parent needs (Hybrid only)

• Adapt communication education for clinicians

• Adapt patient education materials

External environment

• HEDISa measures for antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory tract infections

• Cosmopolitanism

• Key informant interviews (clinicians and administrators)

• EHR data to compute HEDIS measure

• Incorporate into clinician education and use for administrative buy-in if needed

Implementation and sustainability infrastructure

• Current resources and resource utilization for AOM management (e.g., EHR-tools, education materials) and stewardship

• Baseline workflow for AOM

• Perceived facilitators/barriers to sustainability

• Key informant interviews

(clinicians and administrators)

• Process mapping interviews (clinicians and administrators)

• Adapt sustainability plan and EHR workflow

• Develop workflow for SDM (Hybrid only)

Organizational characteristics

• Existing collaborations and information flow between clinics

• Administrative support

• Shared goals

• Key informant interviews (clinicians and administrators)

• Modify communication plan and add administrative support if needed

Patient characteristics

• Demographics

• Urban, suburban, rural designation

• EHR data collection

• Clinic zip codes

• Use data for covariate-constrained cluster randomization
