“…One interviewer provided the goal-setting interventions but this could be conducted in different contexts outside of the Centre and presented through different media. There is some evidence that goal-setting approaches can be used in groups as part of community-wide health promotion and community development (Kloseck, 2007; Kolip & Schaefer, 2013) and group administration of the AgeWell protocol could be considered. The application of goal-setting interventions could also be been adopted in web-based formats (O’Donnell, Greene, & Blissmer, 2014), although further evidence is required to assess the effectiveness of this type of online administration.…”

Objective: We report a mixed method evaluation of the feasibility and implementation of the AgeWell goal-setting intervention to promote healthy ageing later life.Method: Researcher field notes, goal-setting interview content, and semi-structured interviews with participants were content analysed to review trial implementation and participants’ perspective on the goal-setting and mentoring intervention.Results: 75 people were recruited: 21 in the goal-setting and 22 in the goal-setting with mentoring arms of the intervention. Goal-setting was feasible in the main domains of interest. Adherence to the protocol was good and the mentoring schedule was adhered to. Participants reported satisfaction with their goal attainment, but barriers for non-achievement were also identified. Recommendations for small changes to the intervention included reducing the number of goals.Conclusions: Participants understood the goal-setting process, and were able to set realistic and achievable lifestyle goals. The intervention and the procedures were acceptable but changes in how goal-setting is both introduced and monitored are needed for wider implementation.Clinical Implications: Goal-setting can be a useful process to help people alter their lifestyle to allow them to age more successfully and reduce risk factors associated with dementia.

“…For example, GAS has been used to measure spasticity management, where patients tend to have severe and complex disabilities that often affect multiple aspects of their physical functioning [24]. GAS has also been successfully applied at the community level to evaluate health promotion initiatives with seniors where each initiative had different community specific processes and potential outcomes [27]. GAS has also been suggested for use in: mental health, rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, pharmacy, and other health care settings [28][29][30][31].…”

“…The level of achievement of the local QI projects will be assessed using Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) [56] at 12 and 24 months after the intervention. GAS is an appropriate method to assess programs that have an individualized approach to intervention planning and was shown to be a reliable, valid and responsive method to document the impact of QI programs [57,58]. GAS scales will be developed in collaboration with each local implementation committee.…”

Evaluating implementation and impact of a provincial quality improvement collaborative for the management of chronic diseases in primary care: the COMPAS+ study protocol

Background: Chronic conditions such as diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common and burdensome diseases primarily managed in primary care. Yet, evidence points to suboptimal quality of care for these conditions in primary care settings. Quality improvement collaboratives (QICs) are organized, multifaceted interventions that can be effective in improving chronic disease care processes and outcomes. In Quebec, Canada, the Institut national d'excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS) has developed a large-scale QIC provincewide program called COMPAS+ that aims to improve the prevention and management of chronic diseases in primary care. This paper describes the protocol for our study, which aims to evaluate implementation and impact of COMPAS+ QICs on the prevention and management of targeted chronic diseases like diabetes and COPD. Methods: This is a mixed-methods, integrated knowledge translation study. The quantitative component involves a controlled interrupted time series involving nine large integrated health centres in the province. Study sites will receive one of two interventions: the multifaceted COMPAS+ intervention (experimental condition) or a feedback only intervention (control condition). For the qualitative component, a multiple case study approach will be used to achieve an in-depth understanding of individual, team, organizational and contextual factors influencing implementation and effectiveness of the COMPAS+ QICs. Discussion: COMPAS+ is a QI program that is unique in Canada due to its integration within the governance of the Quebec healthcare system and its capacity to reach many primary care providers and people living with chronic diseases across the province. We anticipate that this study will address several important gaps in knowledge related to large-scale QIC projects and generate strong and useful evidence (e.g., on leadership, organizational capacity, patient involvement, and implementation) having the potential to influence the design and optimisation of future QICs in Canada and internationally.
