Implementation Fidelity
Implementation fidelity is the degree to which a program or intervention is delivered as it was originally designed. It is a measure of the accuracy of the delivery of the program or intervention. Implementation fidelity is an important factor in determining program effectiveness, informing decisions about whether to continue, modify, or discontinue an intervention. When programs are evaluated, data on implementation fidelity helps researchers to interpret the results and determine if they can be attributed to the program itself or to other factors. In addition, it can provide information that can be used to improve program delivery.
