Evaluating the success of quality and safety interventions is essential to sustained improvements in patient safety. In this study, patient safety professionals from healthcare facilities and patient safety organizations (PSO) describe their processes for developing and evaluating patient safety interventions. Participants stated they consulted published tools/toolkits which they customized for their specific setting. None of the healthcare facility professionals used publicly available data which may be useful when developing their interventions
