Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of guidelines for venous thromboembolism prevention and management: A mixed-methods systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence-based venous thromboembolism prevention and management is a priority for global health services. Low adoption of venous thromboembolism guidelines can result in compromised patient outcomes. Understanding clinicians' and patients' perceptions of barriers to and facilitators for guideline implementation and mapping identified barriers and facilitators to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research may inform theoretical interventions to improve guideline adoption rates.

Objective

To synthesize quantitative and qualitative evidence on both 1) perceptions and experiences of hospital clinicians and patients regarding venous thromboembolism practices and 2) barriers to and facilitators for guideline implementation.
