Hijjeh M, Al Shaikh L, Alinier G, Selwood D, Malmstrom F, Hassan IF. From novice to expert: a qualitative study of implementation facilitation skills. Mental healthcare, available in primary healthcare, means that people are able to access the treatment and care that they need near to their homes, and thus keep their families together, maintain their support systems, remain integrated and active in the community and continue to contribute to household productivity. Roderick SS, Burdette N, Hurwitz D, Yeracaris P. Integrated behavioral health practice facilitation in patient centered medical homes: a promising application. PCMHI models are complex and implementing them requires structural and process changes to care delivery [7,8,9]; changes in providers roles, skills, values, and attitudes [8, 10,11,12]; and changes in organizational culture [13, 14] and work processes [8, 11]. 2020;26(2):57581. . It may be that there are other dimensions of implementation facilitation strategies that should be specified and reported. Sufficient resources (financial and human) are also a pre-requisite for effective mental health treatment at this level of care. Readers will find out how providing mental health care into primary health care settings produces better health outcomes, learn from other countries that have successfully integrated their mental health services into primary health care, and discover 10 common principles that underlie all successful mental health integration, regardless of country resource level. Clearly the provision of effective mental healthcare at primary healthcare level is highly dependent on the pre-existence of a well-functioning primary care system. 2018;6:136. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2018.00136. https://doi.org/10.1177/1355819616653981. 2016;11(1):113.

Understanding this process can help those planning and applying implementation facilitation to make conscious choices about the facilitation role and the activities that facilitators can use to operationalize this role. for this article. Ritchie, M.J., Parker, L.E. Islamic Republic of Iran. It focused on how the use and intensity of particular facilitation activities changed over time and in response to context.

Iran; Mental Disorders; Mental Health Services; Primary Health Care; Risk Factors. Although the integrated Promoting Action on Implementation Research in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework assumes that implementation is non-linear and complex and posits that facilitation tailors the implementation process in response to the innovation, its recipients, and the implementation context, the framework describes facilitation activities in sequential phases (i.e., clarifying and engaging, assessing and measuring, action and implementation, and reviewing and sharing) [25]. 2015;18(2):7684.

Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, Inc.; 2002. New York, NY: Springer; 2013. p. 6598. Our findings are a first step but are intriguing enough, we believe, to suggest that further longitudinal research across a broad range of clinical and organization contexts would help us deepen our understanding of how facilitation fosters evidence-based practice implementation. Certain implementation facilitation activities tended to occur predominantly during particular implementation periods (see Table 1). World Health Organization / World Organization of Family Doctors. 2021 Jun 16;3(9):694-701. doi: 10.1096/fba.2020-00145.
