The table contains the slopes of the random intercept models linking implementation to outcomes. The slopes are dimensionless. FVC: forced vital capacity; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; K-BILD: The King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire. #: significance at the 0.05 level.
