Improving Quality Improvement: A Methodologic Framework for Evaluating Effectiveness of Surgical Quality Improvement
2009, Journal of the American College of SurgeonsImplementing Patient Safety Interventions in Your Hospital: What to Try and What to Avoid
2008, Medical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :When data on implementation issues are not available, hospitalists should consider the following factors: the need for involving personnel from different disciplines, new education and training, impacts on workflow, and changes in organizational culture. Interventions requiring fundamental changes in any of these areas are less likely to succeed [20,21]. The easiest interventions to implement are those that fit well with what clinicians already do (ie, prescribing drugs [eg, to prevent venous thromboembolism] and using medical devices [eg, ultrasound guidance for central line insertion]).

2006, Medical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The different methodologies highlight the clash of the aims of the two cultures that are involved in health care delivery; clinical care and health care administration. Shojania and Grimshaw [5] pointed to the lack of consensus about the definition of disease management as being one of the reasons why the application of this popular concept has had such modest success when tested empirically. The authors of a major systematic review used the following definition: “An intervention designed to manage or prevent a chronic condition using a systematic approach to care and potentially employing multiple treatment modalities” [12].
