Process of implementation
Planning, developing, and piloting the care model in advance enabled local stakeholders to work together to build capacity and expertise and provided time to reflect and support each other’s learning before commencing the trial, thus promoting adoption of the POPPIE model. Weekly and monthly research and clinical meetings were scheduled to find practical solutions to possible implementation challenges for women, midwives, and healthcare service. For quality and monitoring purposes, daily/queries logs with agreed action plans were in place, and monthly audit tools were designed to monitor fidelity of the intervention. Throughout the project a stakeholder engagement strategy was utilised a combination of social marketing, training and education, and other similar activities and involvement of team leaders, champions, project coordinators and services users.
