Implementation Process

Once we have completed the affiliate agreements, the National Office collaborates with your team to initiate implementation planning. In collaboration with your HealthySteps Trainer and Technical Assistance (TA) Specialist, your team will draft an initial implementation plan. Together, we’ll plan for how your site will deliver HealthySteps services with fidelity and assess your progress along the way.

We’ll continue to provide consultation throughout the first year following training to ensure that your practice is set up for success. We’ll cover everything from integrating your HealthySteps Specialist into the practice and adapting screening workflows to data collection and reporting, so that your team can achieve the evidence-based outcomes of HealthySteps. 

Every HealthySteps site is expected to complete Annual Site Reporting (ASR) each year. In addition to the valuable process data programs can use to gauge their implementation efforts, the National Office tracks service delivery fidelity metrics via ASR to ensure that sites achieve fidelity within 3 years of implementing the program, ensuring the delivery of intended outcomes.
