25 May 20264 min read0 viewsJournal Feed
GIST (Key Takeaways)
- Objectives Despite extensive efforts in data collection, quality and safety measurement remains a significant global challenge, with limited understanding of how and under what conditions quality and patient safety surveillance systems function effectively.
- With the aim of informing the development and effective functioning of quality and patient safety surveillance systems, a rapid realist review was conducted to develop a set of theories that address how, why, for whom and in what context quality and patient safety surveillance systems work.
- Design Rapid realist review to inform recommendations and intervention design for the monitoring and evaluation phase of the QS Signals Project, reported according to Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards (RAMESES) guidelines.
- Data sources Initial programme theories were constructed based on data collected from key articles on quality and patient safety surveillance systems, consultation with an expert panel, informal meetings with a project team charged with developing a quality and patient safety surveillance system for maternal and infant health and a review of the project's planning documents.
