Scale-up component | Description |
---|---|
Population health intervention (PHI) | A discrete set of actions that impact a number of people by attending to underlying conditions (i.e., social determinant of health) of risk, thereby improving population health and reducing health inequities |
Context | The social, cultural, physical, political, and organizational settings within which a PHI is implemented and sustained. Resources refers to the supplies required for the scale-up process, including time, finances, tools/technology, documents, and facilities |
Capacity | One’s current and potential ability to carry out the scale-up process. Potential capacity may be measured by one’s ability to obtain the necessary resources (e.g., materials, supplies), skills and competencies, and support for scale-up, as well as high levels of commitment, patience, coordination, and drive for follow-through |
Stakeholders | People and organizations that are connected to the scale-up process; this includes the implementers of the intervention (e.g., designers of PHI, collaborators), adopters of the intervention (e.g., organizations who will take the scaled up PHI), receivers of the intervention (e.g., target population), supporters of the intervention (e.g., funders, partners), and opponents of scale-up (e.g., groups with conflicting interest) |
