ODMH Research Context • History: Policy (S & R), Strategic Initiative (Hospital Closing), Law (MH Act of 1988) Implementation & Impact Studies • IDARP Catalyst: Funding of CCOEs to facilitate adoption & assimilation of effective & salient practices • IDDT • MST • Family Psycho-education • Cluster-based Planning EvidenceBase • OMAP • MH/Criminal Justice • MH/Schools • Advance Directives Political Salience
ODMH Research Question What factors and processes influence the adoption and assimilation of evidence-based (EBPs) and promising practices by behavioral healthcare organizations*? T1: Adoption T2: Implementation T2: Implementation T3: Implementation T4: Implementation n = 85 n = 50 n = 38 n = 34 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 ODMH funds 8 CCOEs * User-based model
Extensive Relevant Literature • Core Research Streams: • Innovation development, diffusion, adoption, implementation (e.g., Damanpour; Fixsen et al; Frambach & Schillewaert; Greenhalgh; Hickson et al; Real & Poole; Rogers; Van de Ven; Yin) • Strategic decision making; decision making under risk (e.g., Dutton & Jackson; March & Shapira; Panzano & Billings; Sitkin & Weingart; Staw et al, Tversky & Kahneman) • Health care, innovation & public sector planning (e.g, Meyer & Goes; Nutt; Yin) Prominent Paradigm • Upper Echelon Theory (Hambrick & Mason)
Design, Methods, Measures • Design: Longitudinal (up to 4 rounds), primarily concurrent and prospective; observational field study • Focal entities: 85 Innovation decision processes & 50 implementation efforts involving 4 possible practices • Practices: • All 8 CCOEs volunteered; resources ltd study to 4 • Selection: structured decision process involving OSU faculty, ODMH Director’s and Medical Director’s offices, IDARP researchers • Variability on key innovation-level variables (e.g., evidence, complexity, cost); salience also important
Design, Methods, Measures • Selected 2 team-delivered EBPs (IDDT and MST) as primary; 2 individually-delivered PPs (CBP and OMAP) as secondary • Recruitment of Sites for IDARP • Methods: interviews (structured; process reconstruction), surveys (organization & CCOE), archival data • Key informants: Top decision-makers (CEO, CCO, CFO), implementation managers, primary CCOE liaisons
1. Adoption Decision: 1 Model • Card Shark Model • DVs: Adopt/not Adopt; Decision Stage (e.g., Yin) 2. Implementation: 4 Models • Launch; Russian Doll, Dilbert; and Glove Models • DVs: • Continued Use vs De-adoption • Implementation Effectiveness (e.g., fidelity, commitment) • Innovation Effectiveness (e.g., satisfaction, outcomes) • Decision stage: extent assimilated; plans to persist
Model 1: The Adoption Decision The Card Shark Model The decision to adopt depends on calculated risk; the size of your chip stack does matter! • Decision making under risk (e.g., Prospect theory) • Strategic Issue Diagnosis • Climate and Leadership for Innovation
Under Risk A Decision Perceived Risk of Adopting ANTECEDENTS -.50 DECISION STAGE • IMPLEMENTATION • UNDERWAY • JUST DECIDED TO • ADOPT • STILL CONSIDERING • NEVER WILL ADOPT Capacity to Manage or Absorb Risk .40 .28 Risk-taking Propensity Panzano & Roth (2006) Psychiatric Services
Adoption as Decision Under Risk: Some Key Sources for Measures • Survey Scales • Risk & Antecedents: Sitkin and Pablo; Sitkin and Weingart; Panzano & Billings; Bourgeois; Khandwalla • Expectancies: Dutton & Jackson; Thomas & McDaniel • Innovation Attributes: • Moore & Benbaset; Mathieson and Davies; Venkatesh & Davis; Rogers; Tornatsky & Klein • Climate & Culture: Amabile; Bass; Jung et al, Klein & Sorra: Makri et al; Marsick & Watson; Siegel • Attitudes: Aarons; Chatman & O’Reilly; Dunham • Interview Questions • Decision Stage: Nutt, Meyer & Goes; Yin
Model 2: Implementation Success The Launch Model Initial conditions … prior to and at takeoff… have important impacts on the course of events. • Organizational change • Implementation strategy • Planning Process frameworks
Model 2: Factors from earlier stages impact success Decision Success INITIATION IMPLEMENTATION Time 2 Time 1 Time 1 Time
Initiation-Phase Effects SUCCESS Expected Benefits +++ Relative Advantage +++ Results Demonstrability +++ Trust in CCOE (purveyor) +++ * * Assimilation scale; Global positive outcome scale
Decision-Phase Effects SUC C ESS Objective decision +++ Information access +++ Internal influence +++ Commitment +++ * * Assimilation scale; Global positive outcome scale
Model 3: Implementation Success The Russian Doll Model Surrounding conditions and circumstances influence implementation success. • The Meso Paradigm • Levels Issues in Organizational Research • Social Ecology Theory
Level 5: Environment Level 4: Inter-organizational Level 3:Adopting organization Level 2: Project level Level 1: Innovation level • Dependent Variables: • Implementation effectiveness • Innovation effectiveness
Time 1 Environment IOR – Quality of communication (R2 = .13) Org – Learning culture (R2 = .23) Project – Leadership Commitment (R2 = .38) EBP Time 2 Positive outcomes R2 = .38
Model 4: Implementation Success The Dilbert Model Projects can rise and fall depending on how soundly they’re managed. • Climate for implementation • Project management
Climate for Implementation: • Top management support • Goal Clarity • Dedicated resources • Access to training & TA • Rewards/recognition for implementing • Removal of obstacles • Performance monitoring • Freedom to express doubts Holahan et al; Klein, Conn and Sorra; Vaidyanathan, 2004
CLIMATE AND SUCCESS Time 1 Time1 .75 IMPLEMENTATION EFFECTIVENESS Climate for Implementation .45 INNOVATION EFFECTIVENESS Vaidyanathan, 2004

Model 5: Sustained Use If the Glove Still Fits, Keep-wearing-it-model External and Internal Developments Influence Goodness-of-Fit. • Strategic Issue Diagnosis & Management • Project Management
Sustained Use Model Fit Climate Success Such as… Compatibility Capacity Perceived Risk Use History Continued Use vs De-adoption Degree Assimilated Implementation Effectiveness Innovation Effectiveness Developments Panzano and Roth, 2007
Top 2 Reasons for De-adopting1 • Financial resources • Community & network issues • Staffing • Tx Practice Compatibility • Effectiveness • Purveyor (CCOE) Barriers • Technology integration problems 1 12 matched pairs of sustainers vs deadopter sites from organizational surveys and interviews; Massati, Sweeney, Panzano and Roth, 2008
Fit and climate measures differentiate sustainers from de-adopters • Support from external organizations to continue • Degree of ongoing support from top management & organization as a whole • Compatibility of practice with org values • Positive attitudes about practice among staff • Capacity: Know – how and skill at implementing • Access to TA during implementation • Current & projected resource availability
Sustainer Model: CCOE-based Tentative Revision* Fit Implementation Effectiveness (e.g. fidelity) Sustain/ Assimilate Innovation Effectiveness (e.g., outcomes) Climate T3 and T4 CCOE Surveys; n = 34 projects still underway at T4; Panzano & Knudsen et al, 2010
