A qualitative study of the barriers and facilitators impacting the implementation of a quality improvement program for emergency departments: SurgeCon.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The implementation of intervention programs in Emergency Departments (EDs) is often fraught with complications due to the inherent complexity of the environment. Hence, the exploration and identification of barriers and facilitators prior to an implementation is imperative to formulate context-specific strategies to ensure the tenability of the intervention.

Objectives

In assessing the context of four EDs prior to the implementation of SurgeCon, a quality improvement program for ED efficiency and patient satisfaction, this study identifies and explores the barriers and facilitators to successful implementation from the perspective of the healthcare providers, patients, researchers, and decision-makers involved in the implementation.
