| | Features advancing adoption and implementation |
| New technology (product, program, or service) | Advantage over prior and existing programs [18] | Ability to try and adapt the program [19] | Feasibility in time and cost [18] | Outcomes are observable locally and in other sites [18] | Outcomes are reinforced [20] | Proven efficacy and linkage with other satisfied users [18] | Training and technical support available [21] |
| Users and organization | Local champion, change agents, and well-established person to person communication channels [18, 22] | Compatibility with policies and values and climate where the innovation is expected, supported and rewarded [18, 22] | Management support (usually mediated by resource availability) [22] |
