In your opinion, what are the best learning strategies for improving your clinical skills with regard to the use of these tools with older patients?

Patient & Caregiver Characteristics

Interviews with patients

What questions did you have about your health?

How involved did you feel in discussions/decisions made related to your care?

How would you rate your current health?

Central Support

Interviews and/or questions following training sessions with HCPs

Focus Groups with HCPs

In-depth interviews with research team members who supported the implementation.

Rate your knowledge on the AUA, Caredove (web-based referral platform), etc.

Are there any aspects of the intervention that you require further training on? Further clarification?

In the past, how have new programs/tools/resources been introduced (implemented) at this clinic? What worked? What didn’t?

How do you think the intervention is working in your clinic? What’s working? What isn’t?

Which aspects of implementation required the most of your time/support/expertise?

If another research team wished to enact a similar intervention and evaluation in primary care, what advice would you give them?
