May be used to:
• Balance needs of the target population with the core elements of the intervention
1
• Maximize fidelity to interventions that have been tested and have produced
statistically significant positive results
2,3
• Implement intervention(s) across the continuum of care (e.g., acute care to long-term
care) or in multifacility systems when local institutional culture dictates the need for
adaptation
2,3
ere are 4 phases of REP:
3
1. Preconditions (i.e., identification of needs)
2. Pre-implementation (e.g., community input)
3. Implementation (e.g., training )
4. Maintenance (e.g., preparing for
sustainability).
Settings that have applied REP:
• Healthcare
3
• Public health
1
• HIV prevention
