Development of an audit checklist to evaluate treatment fidelity of a complex rehabilitation intervention

CONCLUSION: Findings highlight the importance of using a theoretically-guided approach to checklist development, with the use of rater agreement to identify areas for refinement. A documentation audit checklist was developed that can be used to evaluate treatment fidelity of complex rehabilitation interventions.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONDevelopment of an audit checklist that evaluates clinician documentation of therapy delivery, is feasible as one strategy to measure and enhance the treatment fidelity of complex rehabilitation interventions.The process of audit checklist development should be structured and based on conceptual frameworks, to ensure it accurately measures quality of delivery and adherence to core intervention components.Audit checklists can be used to support clinicians delivering complex rehabilitation interventions.PMID:35358013 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2052977
