TL;DR: Three new measures: the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of intervention Measure (FIM) are developed and psychometrically assessed and demonstrate promising psychometric properties.

TL;DR: How organizational readiness for change has been defined and measured in health services research and other fields is assessed and several conceptual and methodological issues that need to be addressed are identified and discussed.

TL;DR: Although ORIC shows promise, further assessment is needed to test for convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity, and it is believed this measure will enable testing of theories about determinants and consequences of organizational readiness and, ultimately, assist healthcare leaders to reduce the number of health organization change efforts that do not achieve desired benefits.

TL;DR: A theory of the organizational determinants of effective implementation of comprehensive worksite health promotion programs is described, adapted from theory and research on the implementation of complex innovations in manufacturing, education and health care settings.
