Initial Considerations

The first phase focuses on preparation for implementing an intervention. The steps in this phase center around assessing the initial conditions at the host site and estimating how to best adapt the intervention to the site's need. Beyond this core function, this phase features identifying what in the proposed interventions can be modified to fit the needs of the site and what is core to the innovation, as well as how to foster buy-in and a supportive environment to ensure that the implementation process is a success.
