Abstract:Purpose: Because of the complexity of quality improvement interventions in healthcare organizations, it is difficult to pinpoint the reasons of failure or success. Extensive, systematic and homogeneous reporting contributes to the improvement of interventions and future implementation studies. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework to evaluate the reporting of implementation evaluation studies. The complex intervention Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) is used as a test case. Methodology/approach: The authors developed a framework based on existing implementation and reporting frameworks for evaluating and reporting on (complex) interventions. Then, a literature search was performed to select peer-reviewed journal articles describing learned skills and deployed tools, during a phased implementation of TeamSTEPPS in an interdisciplinary environment, with the use of a Master Trainer. Finally, the developed framework was used to evaluate the extensiveness of reporting of the included articles as well as to inventory of determinants for successful implementation. Findings: The presented framework seems suitable (in this testcase) for the evaluation of reporting of complex interventions in healthcare organizations. It was found that the detail of reporting in papers describing a TeamSTEPPS implementation is often inadequate. Research limitations: It is unknown if the presented framework is suitable for the evaluation of reporting on other interventions then TeamSTEPPS. Practical implications: Implementers can use this framework as a guideline for their intervention evaluation. Value: This is the first literature review evaluating the reporting of TeamSTEPPS intervention studies. The developed framework offers a structured method to evaluate the reporting of complex interventions.
