Organisational context of hospitals that participated in a multi-site mentored medication reconciliation quality improvement project (MARQUIS2): a cross-sectional observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Medication reconciliation (MedRec) is an important patient safety strategy and is widespread in US hospitals and globally. Nevertheless, high quality MedRec has been difficult to implement. As part of a larger study investigating MedRec interventions, we evaluated and compared organisational contextual factors and team cohesion by hospital characteristics and implementation team members' profession to better understand the environmental context and its correlates during a multi-site quality improvement (QI) initiative.

Design

We conducted a cross-sectional observational study using a web survey (contextual factors) and a national hospital database (hospital characteristics).

Setting

Hospitals participating in the second Multi-Centre Medication Reconciliatio
