Effectiveness- and cost effectiveness of a structured method for systematic and integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management systems (SIOHPS) - a study protocol for a pragmatic stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management are essential for addressing the challenges faced by healthcare services today. Developing and evaluating tools that support this work is crucial. This project aims to assess the effectiveness of a structured method for systematic and integrated occupational safety and health and patient safety management systems (SIOHPS). Additionally, the project includes embedded economic and process evaluation. This article presents the overall design of the SIOHPS-project, with a specific focus on the design and evaluation of the (cost-)effectiveness study.

Methods

The project is guided by the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for complex interventions and is coproduced with key stakeholders. The i
