“…Sixteen of the 45 quality initiatives [20-24,26-28,32-34,36,39,40,43,44] utilized best practice or national guidelines. Nine controlled studies reported statistically significant results [20,21,23,26,40,42,43,56,63], but only three studies reported statistically significant differences over a sustained period of time [20,23,56].…”

“…A controlled study design was used in twenty-three studies: interrupted time series (n = 7) [20,24,37,38,75,82,85], controlled before and after (n = 9) [19,21,23,26,27,56,64,112,113], RCT (n = 2) [84,102], cohort (n = 2) [39,40], and case-control studies (n = 3) [41-43]. Twelve controlled studies utilized patient charts and administrative databases to measure outcomes.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review of the literature about the establishment and impact of quality and safety team initiatives in acute care.MethodsStudies were identified through electronic searches of Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ABI Inform, Cochrane databases. Grey literature and bibliographies were also searched. Qualitative or quantitative studies that occurred in acute care, describing how quality and safety teams were established or implemented, the impact of teams, or the barriers and/or facilitators of teams were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data on study design, sample, interventions, and outcomes. Quality assessment of full text articles was done independently by two reviewers. Studies were categorized according to dimensions of quality.ResultsOf 6,674 articles identified, 99 were included in the study. The heterogeneity of studies and results reported precluded quantitative data analyses. Findings revealed limited information about attributes of successful and unsuccessful team initiatives, barriers and facilitators to team initiatives, unique or combined contribution of selected interventions, or how to effectively establish these teams.ConclusionsNot unlike systematic reviews of quality improvement collaboratives, this broad review revealed that while teams reported a number of positive results, there are many methodological issues. This study is unique in utilizing traditional quality assessment and more novel methods of quality assessment and reporting of results (SQUIRE) to appraise studies. Rigorous design, evaluation, and reporting of quality and safety team initiatives are required.

“…19 Initiatives directed at improving process of care utilizing critical pathways and standardized order forms have been shown to improve compliance to evidence-based therapies and interventions. [20][21][22][23] These initiatives have been shown to improve quality of care of patients with ACS, length of stay, and cost. 24,25 Therefore, we believe that the critical pathways we had implemented in this Hajj program may have contributed to the observed improvement of ACS outcomes.…”

Background: Hajj is the largest human gathering with over 2 million people. We evaluated the effect of bundle care intervention on mortality. Methods: A population-based, before and after study compared the effect of an intervention on mortality. The intervention included recruitment of cardiac team, introducing 24/7 catheterization service, cardiac coordination, standardized cardiac care pathways, and establishment of an effective transportation system. Results: Cardiac mortality accounted for about 52% of all in-hospital deaths before intervention in 2009. This decreased significantly to 43.
