Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the documentation and implementation of QUARRC metrics across the five centers. 2. To identify the problem statements, root causes and key drivers for metrics that could not be documented / implemented at each center, using the A3QI methodology 3. To design interventions directed at improving the documentation and implementation of these metrics in a prospective manner 4. To evaluate the feasibility of implementing the key interventions derived from retrospective study, in a multi-centre context 5. To evaluate the impact of the key interventions on documentation / implementation of QUARRC metrics in a multi-centre context 6. To identify the barriers for implementing the key interventions in a multi-center context 7. To evaluate the sustainability of the key interventions implemented successfully in prospective part. 8. To identify barriers for sustaining effective interventions in a multi-centre context. Timepoint: 1. To evaluate the documentation and implementation of QUARRC metrics across the five centers. 2.
