Implementation and evaluation of Exercise is Medicine in primary care clinics within a large academic health system.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, implementation, and effectiveness of the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) initiative. Researchers used a combination of the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) and the Learning Evaluation model to implement EIM; data was collected from the EHR, including Physical Activity Vital Sign (PAVS) scores, and also from qualitative surveys and interviews with the patients, clinicians, and staff of 5 primary care clinics within a large academic health system. The results indicated that EIM is feasible for routine primary care practice within a large academic health system. The researchers concluded that EIM is a model to emulate to help primary care providers address healthy lifestyle behaviors more efficiently.

Evaluating the implementation of a before-school physical activity program: a mixed-methods approach in Massachusetts, 2018.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a widely available, before-school, physical activity program in a low-resource, racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse, urban school setting to identify adaptations needed for successful implementation. The investigators used a collaborative effort with stakeholders to implement the Build Our Kids' Success (BOKS) program in 3 schools in Revere, Massachusetts.

Implementation of systematic community resource referrals at small primary care practices to promote cardiovascular disease self-management.
The purpose of this study was to describe outcomes from implementation of a community resource referral system into small clinical practices to reduce cardiovascular disease risk. HealtheRx-H3, a printed list of resources for patients, was created. It was feasible to create practice-specific HealtheRx-H3s; however, systematic distribution of HealtheRx-H3s using digital electronic health record integration was found to be infeasible. Successful implementation of quality improvement strategies to systematize community resource referral solutions was feasible at small practices, but more research was recommended in order to understand what motivates small practices to participate in implementation of these solutions.
