Thematic areas

Description

CFIR construct (CFIR domain)

Pharmacy staff engagement

Pharmacy staff’s knowledge and beliefs relating to an innovation, its compatibility with their roles and values, whether it poses advantages or not, and the incentives and strategies which engage community pharmacy staff.

• Knowledge and beliefs about the intervention (characteristics of individuals)

• Compatibility—with roles or values (inner setting)*

• Relative advantage (innovation characteristics)

• External policy and incentives (outer setting)

• Organisational incentives and rewards (inner setting)

• Engaging innovation participants (process)

Operationalisation of the innovation

Innovation attributes (such as design and complexity) and surrounding factors including resources, compatibility with pharmacy systems, and pharmacy staff access to knowledge and information about the innovation.

• Available resources (inner setting)

• Design quality and packaging (innovation characteristics)

• Complexity (innovation characteristics)

• Compatibility—with systems (inner setting)*

• Access to knowledge and information (inner setting)

External engagement

The relationship with patients and other healthcare professionals, their perceptions, and strategies to engage these stakeholders.

• Cosmopolitanism (outer setting)

• Patient needs and resources (outer setting)

• Engaging stakeholders (process)
