Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: The Evidence-Based Practice Identification and Change (EPIC) intervention is a complex multifaceted knowledge translation strategy that combines the use of evidence and continuous quality improvement to change health care professional practices. However, there is no measure to evaluate the fidelity (degree to which the intervention was implemented as planned) of the EPIC intervention. AIM: To examine the content validity of the Process Evaluation Checklist (PEC), a newly developed measure to assess the fidelity of the EPIC intervention. METHODS: Eight health care professionals with experience in the delivery of the EPIC intervention rated the importance/relevance of items in assessing the scale/subscales of the PEC. A content validity index was computed for each item (I-CVI) and for each scale/subscale (S-CVI) in the measure. RESULTS: I-CVIs ranged from 0.6 to 1.0 and S-CVIs ranged from 0.3 to 1.0. Two items were eliminated, while nine items were retained. CONCLUSIONS: Content validity of the PEC was established. The PEC will be used to evaluate the implementation fidelity of the EPIC intervention in future trials.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
