Abstrakt: Objective: The objective of this paper is to assess implementation facilitators and challenges for advanced team-based care (aTBC) in a federally qualified health center (FQHC). In aTBC, care team coordinators room patients, perform vitals and agenda setting during patient intake, and remain present alongside providers during patient visits.
Methods: The authors conducted a qualitative post-hoc analysis of the aTBC implementation using data from several sources. They used content analysis to code items as facilitators or challenges and thematic analysis to group those into larger themes. Finally, they applied a priori codes from the revised consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) to organize the facilitators and barriers into subdomains.
Results: The existing evidence-base around aTBC, the FQHC's ability to pilot and adapt it, and strong implementation leads were key facilitating factors. Challenges included an external shock (i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic), aTBC complexity, and uncertainty about whether success required implementation of the full model versus easier-to-integrate smaller components.
Conclusions: FQHCs that wish to implement aTBC models need strong champions and internal structures for piloting, adapting, and disseminating interventions. FQHC leaders must think strategically about how to build support and demonstrate success to improve an FQHC's chances of expanding and sustaining aTBC.
