Extant interventions over-emphasize individual-level provider and patient behaviors, and neglect critical health systems-level changes. The \u2018Integrated Management Team to Improve Maternal-Child Outcomes (IMPROVE)\u2019 study implemented a three-part, patient-centered, health-systems-level intervention to improve MCH and HIV outcomes in Lesotho. Ensuring intervention fit within the health systems context is important, but often overlooked. This manuscript describes implementation research conducted to tailor and adapt intervention implementation to optimize appropriateness, acceptability, and feasibility. It identifies resulting implementation variation across study sites and lessons learned.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The research team reviewed intervention implementation documentation and conducted structured reflections to: 1) assess implementation strategy adaptations, 2) identify facility-specific strategies employed to improve the MCH patient experience, and 3) synthesize lessons.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Facility-based, integrated, multi-disciplinary management teams (MDT) were feasible and acceptable to establish through engagement with facility leadership and facilitation of a participatory training curriculum that established shared values between cadres supporting MCH, and identified facility-specific service delivery gaps and potential solutions. Ongoing MDT meetings provided coordination between facility and community-based MCH service providers to implement early ANC follow-up. Facility-specific improvement strategies included fee, staffing, and patient documentation-based changes. Piloting Positive Health, Dignity, and Prevention-focused counseling approaches resulted in tailored job aids pre-implementation. Leadership involvement was critical for improved coordination while staff turnover and competing donor priorities challenged MDT efforts.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>IMPROVE created facility-specific adaptation opportunities through participatory intervention implementation practices. The MDTs, benefitting from leadership support, built relationships between HCW cadres, led facility-specific quality improvements, and, importantly, offered HCWs sought-after positive feedback by recognizing HCW efforts. The coordination, monitoring and cross-cadre communication functions of the MDTs supported implementation of other interventions, and may serve as a valuable platform for improving patient-centered care practices in similar settings and for other health services.
