Influences of post-implementation factors on the sustainability, sustainment, and intra-organizational spread of complex interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complex interventions are increasingly applied to healthcare problems. Understanding of post-implementation sustainment, sustainability, and spread of interventions is limited.
