The Implementation Process​

After your team completes onboarding, we partner with your practice to implement the HealthySteps model and set your team up for success. 

We’ll help you get started.

As soon as we complete affiliate agreements, the National Office works with your team to begin implementation planning. In collaboration with your HealthySteps Trainer and 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.

You’ll transform your practice.

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 HS 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.

Reporting and Fidelity

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.
