clinicians, patients and caregivers, health care managers, and decision-makers from local and provincial levels. Due to involvement in development of the study objectives, design and methodology, stakeholders will receive additional benefits from the results. For example, results will serve as a baseline for quality improvement initiatives. Results:The resulting research program is comprised of three convergent streams. The first stream is an observational cross-sectional study using chart reviews together with clinician and organizational survey data to assess quality of care, clinicians’ attitudes, knowledge and practices, as well as organizational characteristics. The second stream uses multiple case-study design involving interviews and document analysis to assess the implementation process. The third stream relies on linked, provincial-level health administrative data to describe and compare populationbased trends over time. During the integration phase, a data dossier will be developed for each site using the quantitative and qualitative data to build a matrix across which conclusions can be drawn on key clinical and organizational factors impacting successful initiatives. An integrated knowledge translation plan includes regular feedback to research sites and a series of events at national and international levels.Conclusions:This project requires the integration of data from multiple sources and sites across different provinces in a way that maintains their rich context. The innovative methods developed by our stakeholders and research team allow for results that create and empower transformative change in NCD care.
