Clinical Intervention Fidelity

Meaning

Clinical Intervention Fidelity is the rigorous degree to which a therapeutic regimen, health protocol, or wellness plan is implemented exactly as it was originally designed and prescribed in a clinical or research setting. High fidelity ensures that the intended mechanisms of action are consistently engaged across all participants, minimizing the delivery variability that could obscure or confound the true clinical outcomes. This metric is essential for accurately attributing observed physiological or hormonal changes directly to the specific intervention itself.
