N2 - Pragmatic trials aim to generate timely evidence while ensuring feasibility, minimizing practice burden, and maintaining real-world conditions. We conducted rapid-cycle qualitative research in the preimplementation period of a trial evaluating a community paramedic program to shorten and prevent hospitalizations. Between December 2021 and March 2022, interviews (n = 30) and presentations/discussions (n = 17) were conducted with clinical and administrative stakeholders. Two investigators analyzed interview and presentation data to identify potential trial challenges, and team reflections were used to develop responsive strategies. Solutions were implemented prior to the commencement of trial enrollment and were aimed at bolstering feasibility and building ongoing practice feedback loops.
