Barriers and Facilitators of High-Efficiency Clinical Pathway Implementation in Community Hospitals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An intervention that involved simultaneously implementing clinical pathways for multiple conditions was tested at a tertiary children's hospital and it improved care quality. We are conducting a randomized trial to evaluate this multicondition pathway intervention in community hospitals. Our objectives in this qualitative study were to prospectively (1) identify implementation barriers and (2) map barriers to facilitators using an established implementation science framework.

Methods

We recruited participants via site leaders from hospitals enrolled in the trial. We designed an interview guide using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and conducted individual interviews. Analysis was done using constant comparative methods. Anticipated barriers
