Strategy

Description†

Audit and feedback

Collect and summarize SNaP implementation data over a specified time period and give it to leaders within sites to monitor, evaluate, and modify SNaP activities

Conduct cyclical small tests of change

Implement changes in SnaP implementation in a cyclical fashion using small tests of change before taking changes system-wide. Tests of change benefit from systematic measurement, and results of the tests of change are studied for insights on how to do better. This process continues serially over time, and refinement is added with each cycle

Conduct local needs assessment

Collect and analyze data related to the local need for the innovation

Obtain and use participants and family feedback

Develop strategies to increase participants and family feedback on the implementation effort

Organize implementation team meetings

Develop and support teams of staff who are implementing SNaP and give them protected time to reflect on the implementation effort, share lessons learned, and support one another’s learning

Capture and share local knowledge

Capture local knowledge from implementation sites on how site staff made something work in their setting and then share it with other sites

Shadow other experts

Provide ways for site staff to directly observe experienced system navigators and psychosocial counselors deliver SNaP

Facilitate relay of data to implementers

Provide as close to real-time data as possible about key measures of process/outcomes using integrated modes/channels of communication in a way that promotes use of SNaP

Remind implementers

Develop reminder systems designed to help site staff to recall information and/or prompt them to use the SNaP intervention

Non-monetary incentives

Non-monetary strategies to motivate site staff to implement SNaP (recognition, certificate, rewards, etc.)
