Use of implementation science frameworks to identify core components and sustainability characteristics of a quality improvement learning collaborative.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implementation Science (IS) frameworks facilitate definition of core and optional components of innovations, interventions and programmes, which increases the likelihood of successful implementation and sustainment. We used IS frameworks to characterise a hospital-based interdisciplinary quality improvement learning collaborative (QILC) which was established to develop quality improvement (QI) capability among front-line staff. The aim was to identify factors that supported implementation, potential threats to sustainability and elements that may influence dissemination into other settings.

Methods

Of five IS frameworks evaluated, two were selected, the Active Implementation Framework (action-oriented, dependent on feedback loops and improvement cycles) and the Co
