Identifying core strategies and mechanisms for spreading a national medicines optimisation programme across England-a mixed-method study applying qualitative thematic analysis and Qualitative Comparative Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Achieving widespread adoption of innovations across health systems remains a challenge. Past efforts have focused on identifying and classifying strategies to actively support innovation spread (replicating an innovation across sites), but we lack an understanding about the mechanisms which such strategies draw on to deliver successful spread outcomes. There is also no established methodology to identify core strategies or mechanisms which could be replicated with fidelity in new contexts when spreading innovations. We aimed to understand which strategies and mechanisms are connected with successful spread using the case of a national medicines optimisation programme in England.

Methods

The study applied a comparative mixed-method case study approach. We compared
