Abstrakt: Purpose: The fluoroquinolone restriction for the prevention of Clostridioides difficile infection (FIRST) trial is a multisite clinical study in which sites carry out a preauthorization process via electronic health record-based best-practice alert (BPA) to optimize the use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in acute care settings. Our research team worked closely with clinical implementation coordinators to facilitate the dissemination and implementation of this evidence-based intervention. Clinical implementation coordinators within the antibiotic stewardship team (AST) played a pivotal role in the implementation process; however, considerable research is needed to further understand their role. In this study, we aimed to (1) describe the roles and responsibilities of clinical implementation coordinators within ASTs and (2) identify facilitators and barriers coordinators experienced within the implementation process.
Methods: We conducted a directed content analysis of semistructured interviews, implementation diaries, and check-in meetings utilizing the conceptual framework of middle managers' roles in innovation implementation in healthcare from Urquhart et al.
Results: Clinical implementation coordinators performed a variety of roles vital to the implementation's success, including gathering and compiling information for BPA design, preparing staff, organizing meetings, connecting relevant stakeholders, evaluating clinical efficacy, and participating in the innovation as clinicians. Coordinators identified organizational staffing models and COVID-19 interruptions as the main barriers. Facilitators included AST empowerment, positive relationships with staff and oversight/governance committees, and using diverse implementation strategies.
Conclusion: When implementing healthcare innovations, clinical implementation coordinators facilitated the implementation process through their roles and responsibilities and acted as strategic partners in improving the adoption and sustainability of a fluoroquinolone preauthorization protocol.
