Alignment: To what extent does the intervention align with external stakeholders’ priorities?.
Feasibility: To what extent can the intervention be implemented under existing conditions?.Risk: Is it known how safe the intervention is?.Evidence: To what extent does the evidence base support the intervention’s efficacy?.Implementation protocol: Is the protocol sufficiently detailed to be replicated?.RAPT delineates 9 readiness criteria to evaluate the intervention, from low to high readiness: RAPT is a recently developed framework for study teams in the pilot phase to assess readiness of their embedded intervention before advancing to the full implementation phase (Baier et al.
Scoring efficacious interventions using RAPT can inform research team discussions regarding whether or not to advance an intervention to effectiveness testing using a PCT and how to design that PCT. RAPT is the first model to help interventionists and funders assess the extent to which interventions are ready for PCTs. Readiness Assessment for Pragmatic Trials (RAPT) Such assessment will involve evaluating the context, capabilities, and challenges of the partner healthcare system as well as testing key elements of the intervention and collection and transfer of data from the EHR. Pilot testing involves an assessment of the readiness of the embedded intervention before launching its full implementation.
