^a There was a total of 72 fidelity checklists provided across 5 visits. For the 5th visit, there was one checklist, with means of 1.00 for all intervention components except multidisciplinary collaboration facilitation (mean = 0.33), medication review & optimization discussion (mean = 0.50), and psychosocial support provision for patient and family (mean = 0.67) and easy access to care (mean = 0.67)
