Assessing the implementation of TickiT® during group clinic sessions with patients who have neonatal brachial plexus injury (NBPI): a quality improvement study
Lack of consistency in how the tool was introduced into the clinic and evaluated over time in terms of its feasibility - It was often unclear how the clinicians would use TickiT® to improve or inform clinical practices in terms of translating the survey results into actions or innovations in their clinic area.
Background
This quality improvement (QI) study assessed the implementation of TickiT® (the pre-clinic survey) using an observational approach to learn of facilitators and barriers associated with e-health adoption and to identify areas of improvement. Observations were performed during three NBPI clinics.
Results showed that TickiT® was adopted gradually overtime and that someone acting as an early facilitator was instrumental in encouraging clinician engagement with the tool. Barriers and facilitators to e-health implementation should be considered before initiating the adoption of a novel tool.
