A scaling-up strategy supporting the expansion of integrated care: a study protocol
The objective is to gain insight in whether the step-based strategy is implemented as it was designed to explore what works and does not work when implementing the scaling-up strategy. The second part concerns a realist evaluation to examine what it is about the SCIROCCO ’s strategy that works for whom, why, how and in which circumstances when scaling-up integrated care. Findings The intended study will provide valuable information on the implementation of the scaling-up strategy which will help to explain for what specific reasons the implementation succeeds an d will facilitate further improvement of project outcomes....
