Implementation interventions through the lens of Normalisation Process Theory1174Supplement: Application of EPOC%u2019s professional implementation interventions We describe examples of the application of adaptations of professional implementation interventions during the process of the method MDET by following the consecutive phases. Phase 1. Implementing MDET started with approval of the care organisations Board (Consensus processes, CP). After that, public relations and policy officers ensured communication (Distribution of Information Materials, DIM) about the method so that it became known to care teams. The coordinating researcher recruited professionals with knowledge and experience in reducing restrictive measures to form the MDET expert team. Within this team Educational Meetings (EM) and Consensus processes (CP)were used to teach experts the method MDET and discuss implications. The coordinating researcher linked the relevant expert to the participating care homes. Once initial contact had been established, the expert and care team, continued starting up and carrying out the method. Phase 2 and 3. In the starting process Consensus processes (CP) and Client-Related Interventions (CRI) were frequently used, because support staff needed to become sufficiently aware of the application of restrictive measures for each individual client and willing to support phasing out unanimously. %u201cFor each client an inventory is made of which restrictions are currently in place and whether there are possibilities for phasing them out.%u201d (group home 11)Due to resistance in care teams, or %u201cpartial agreement about the possibilities regarding the reduction of restrictive measures%u201d (group home 16) in a few care homes consensus about starting-up MDET and pursuing reduction of restrictive measures was not achieved. This delayed or even stagnated the implementation process. In these slowly progressing processes the MDET expert discussed doubts and concerns with the MDET coordinating researcher, or during meetings with other MDET-experts with the aim of finding new ways to motivate the care team. These Consensus processes
