Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services framework applied to TeamSTEPPS implementation in small rural hospitals.
An evidence-based program focused on quality enhancement in health care, termed TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety), has been widely promoted by AHRQ. The authors apply the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) framework in studying its implementation to identify elements that are most closely related to successful implementation. The current findings provide support for the PARIHS framework.
