Quality and reporting of large-scale improvement programmes: a review of maternity initiatives in the English NHS, 2010–2023.
Effective implementation of patient safety programs can be challenging. This scoping review evaluated 15 large-scale quality improvement programs focused on intrapartum care in the United Kingdom’s National Health Service. The authors identified poor reporting of evidence base supporting the interventions, limited descriptions of implementation support, and explicit use of existing patient engagement strategies or frameworks to guide implementation.
