The implementation and evaluation phase is the fourth and final phase of the dosage probation implementation model. This phase’s steps and activities help your jurisdiction continue using implementation science to build a robust infrastructure supporting dosage probation's long-term success.

Before officially launching dosage probation, the Dosage Probation Policy Team and Dosage Probation Workgroup should have agreed on an official implementation date and conducted educational or training sessions to ensure all stakeholders, including probation staff, are well-informed about dosage probation and its policies and prepared to work as a team to implement it.

The steps in this phase include the following:

• Implement the Dosage Probation Model

  In this step, probation leadership should guide activities overseeing the post-implementation fidelity and sustainability of the dosage probation model. Probation leadership (and others, as applicable) should review this section in the Dosage Probation Toolkit.

• Collect Data; Evaluate; Adjust

  The person(s) responsible for data (performance measurement and management) should begin this step after your jurisdiction’s dosage probation logic model has been drafted in the second (preparation) phase. Establishing policies, procedures, and information systems for recording, collecting, storing, processing, reporting, and evaluating or using the data effectively will take time.
