Implementation evaluation of an evidence-informed hospital inpatient nursing framework (HIRAID® Inpatient): a protocol for a stepped-wedge cluster RCT.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preventable adverse events in Australian hospitals are a significant safety issue, causing harm, death and increased healthcare costs. Many stem from inadequate recognition of, or response to, clinical deterioration by nurses that suggest gaps in current nursing practice frameworks. Responding to health sector demand, this study will adapt the evidence-informed HIRAID® nursing framework for use in hospital inpatient settings, implement and evaluate the standardised HIRAID® Inpatient framework to improve the quality and safety of inpatient hospital care.

Methods

HIRAID® will be adapted for the hospital inpatient setting using a real-time Delphi technique and co-design with frontline hospital inpatient nurses, consumers, managers, physicians and allied health clinic
