41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

bull Clinical and administrative staff of the various institutions involved in the implementation process Their role is to support the process of identifying barriers and plan the strategies to overcome them

bull Audit Coordinators Their primary function is to monitor processes to ensure that each recommendation receives adequate support to facilitate implementation and in turn regularly collect and analyzeinformation necessary for the construction of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of CPG performance

Finallyitis necessary to involve the team representing CPG end users For this it is important to identify wellthedifferenttypesofrecipientstowhomtheCPGshouldbedisseminatedtoselectproperlythestrategies to use in the wide range of possibilities

CPG end users must be represented by the clinicians who will use the recommendations made in the sameCPG(generalpractitionersmedicalspecialistsandhealthprofessionalsingeneral)officialsandstaff of health institutions and patients

The main function of the representatives of the end users is to aid in the identification of barriersand the selection strategies to overcome them and support the team coordinating the implementation strategy in the selection and adaptation of the approach and messages to disseminate according to the particular characteristics of each application environment

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

41 CPG Adoption Policy

The institutional decision to change clinical practice adjusting it to the recommendations in the CPGs generally belongs at the management level of institutions From the perspective of providers of health services adoption should be understood as a process that involves commitment and institutionaldecision to change the practice and consider the different actors and resources of the health system It isthefirstinstitutionalstepintheimplementationprocess

When the institutions providing health services have completed the process of assessing health problemsandtheneedsoftheiruserstheyshouldcontinueitwiththeprioritizationoftheconditionsto intervene and review the existing CPGs These processes are beyond the scope of this manual and should be reviewed in other reviews and manuals

InColombia theMinistryofHealthandSocialProtectionadoptedbyResolution1442of2013 theCPGsrelatedtocancercareandsubmitsthemasldquonecessaryreferenceforthecareofpersonsbutthe health personnel have the power to accept or not the recommendations when considering that the clinicalcontextinwhichcareisprovidedsowarrantsleavingrecordoftheiropinionanddecisionintheclinicalhistoryrdquo(22)ItalsonotesthattheCPGsadoptedshouldbeldquonecessaryreferenceforBenefitPlansAdministratorsHealthCareProvidersAdaptedEntitiesandSpecialRegimesrdquo(22)

Each Health Care Provider must conduct an adoption process of the CPGs arranged by the Ministry of HealthandSocialProtectionincludingthemasareferenceforthecareoftheirusersandassigningthe necessary resources for institutional dissemination implementation evaluation and controlincorporating them into the framework of the procedures and conditions that the service providers must satisfy to enable health services (23)

The successful implementation at the institutional level requires the genuine commitment of theentire team Management should assume the initial leadership and as the process continues and theimplementationteamisformedsuchleadershipcanbetransferredtotheofficials involvedThemanagement of the institution should develop and disseminate a document where it undertakes to implement the CPG and emphasizes this work as an organizational priority (Implementation Plan) Additionally it must have all the necessary resources to facilitate the process of disseminationimplementationevaluationandcontrol

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

bull Audit Coordinators Their primary function is to monitor processes to ensure that each recommendation receives adequate support to facilitate implementation and in turn regularly collect and analyzeinformation necessary for the construction of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of CPG performance

Finallyitis necessary to involve the team representing CPG end users For this it is important to identify wellthedifferenttypesofrecipientstowhomtheCPGshouldbedisseminatedtoselectproperlythestrategies to use in the wide range of possibilities

CPG end users must be represented by the clinicians who will use the recommendations made in the sameCPG(generalpractitionersmedicalspecialistsandhealthprofessionalsingeneral)officialsandstaff of health institutions and patients

The main function of the representatives of the end users is to aid in the identification of barriersand the selection strategies to overcome them and support the team coordinating the implementation strategy in the selection and adaptation of the approach and messages to disseminate according to the particular characteristics of each application environment

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

42 Creationoftheinstitutionalimplementationteamanddefinitionofroles

An institutional team should be created to develop the implementation plan This team should consist ofamultidisciplinaryteamincludingstakeholdersfromalllevelsofparticipationandaccordingtothecontext of application of the CPG The institutions that have teams for the development of guidelines orprocessestoimprovethequalityofcarethefunctionsandrolesofimplementationcanbeaddedtothem

Theteammembersshouldincludebull GeneralCoordinatorassignedbythedirectivesoftheIPSandsupportedbytheopinionleaderand

coordinated by a facilitator Responsible for coordinating all the activities of creation and execution of the implementation plan and seeking leadership approval of activities

bull Facilitator will be responsible for supporting the various implementation activitiesbull Clinical opinion leaders within the institution (Head of area or Teacher)bull Patients or organizations that represent thembull Decision makers within the institution (health service managers)bull Representative (s) of the various professionals who provide care to patients

The team should have the support of the administrative management of the Health Provider Facility and create or adapt a space where the team can meet to make decisions and create an implementation plan

43 Elaboration of the institutional implementation plan

The elaboration of an institutional implementation plan is the central component of the CPG implementation process It contains the set of activities that must be followed to facilitate the gaining of skills by providers and patients in order to aid in clinical decisions guided by the CPG recommendations It includes the availability of resources to do so and the systematic use of these recommendations To havemorechanceofsuccesseveryactionandeverystepundertheplanmusthavearesponsibleperson assigned

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

bull Audit Coordinators Their primary function is to monitor processes to ensure that each recommendation receives adequate support to facilitate implementation and in turn regularly collect and analyzeinformation necessary for the construction of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of CPG performance

Finallyitis necessary to involve the team representing CPG end users For this it is important to identify wellthedifferenttypesofrecipientstowhomtheCPGshouldbedisseminatedtoselectproperlythestrategies to use in the wide range of possibilities

CPG end users must be represented by the clinicians who will use the recommendations made in the sameCPG(generalpractitionersmedicalspecialistsandhealthprofessionalsingeneral)officialsandstaff of health institutions and patients

The main function of the representatives of the end users is to aid in the identification of barriersand the selection strategies to overcome them and support the team coordinating the implementation strategy in the selection and adaptation of the approach and messages to disseminate according to the particular characteristics of each application environment

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation

According to theCochraneEffectivePracticeandOrganizationofCaregroup(EPOC)interventionsaimedatovercomingthebarrierscanbesummarizedinthefollowingaspects

Table 4 Summary of interventions to overcome barriers

Interventions on profes-sionals

- Distribution of educational materials- Training sessions- Local consensus processes- Visits of a facilitator- Participation of local opinion leaders- Patient-mediated interventions - Audit and feedback- Use of reminders- Use of mass media

Financial interventions - Professional or institutional incentives - Incentives for patients

Organizational interven-tions

These can include changes in the physical structures of the health care units in medical record systems or ownership- Aimed at professionals- Aimed at patients- Structural

Regulatory interventions

Any intervention that aims to change the delivery or the cost of health care by law or regula-tion- Changes in the responsibilities of the professional- Management of patient complaints- Accreditation
