Step | Definition | Participants | Measures | Data and output |
---|---|---|---|---|
1) Identify potentially relevant EBPs | Compile a list of EBPs that are most relevant to ARF/ARDS and supported by the most robust data | DIGITAL-C research team | Mortality benefit; shorter duration of MV; importance | Initial list of EBPs related to ARF/ARDS |
2) Assign ratings to EBPs | Distill the list of EBPs using surveys | DIGITAL-C clinician researchers | GLIA 2.0 instrument | Qualitative and quantitative assessments of EBPs; a distilled list of EBPs based on survey results |
3) Frontline clinician panel | Evaluate the distilled list of EBPs from step 2 using surveys | Frontline clinicians | Abbreviated GLIA instrument: measurability; resource intensiveness; source credibility | Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the distilled list of EBPs |
4) Final synthesis | Identify final list of EBPs that will be the focus of implementation efforts | DIGITAL-C research team | Measurability; variability in practice | Highest rated EBPs based on steps 3 & 4 |
