Installation Phase
• What individuals have authority to reallocate resources/facilitate implementation and connect with state improvement plan?
• Who will guide implementation?
• What does implementation of the innovation involve?
5
Initial Implementation Phase
• Who are initial implementers?
• How do we begin implementation?
• How do we monitor fidelity and outcomes?
6
Full Implementation Phase
• How do we build local training/coaching capacity?
