“…Mixed methods can be useful in pursuing a broad range of focal topics and study aims in the biomedical and health services research arenas, including but not limited to clinical or quality issues, 12–14 health care organizational performance, 15 behavioral interventions, 16, 17 processes of implementation of innovations, 18, 19 health care decision making, 20 and measurement development for complex constructs. 21, 22 Including a supplemental qualitative component within experimental or quasi-experimental studies of complex interventions is becoming increasingly common (see Lewin et al, BMJ 17 for a review of qualitative methods within randomized clinical trials).…”

Mixed methods studies, in which qualitative and quantitative methods are combined in a single program of inquiry, can be valuable in biomedical and health services research, where the complementary strengths of each approach can yield greater insight into complex phenomena than either approach alone. Although interest in mixed methods is growing among science funders and investigators, written guidance on how to conduct and assess rigorous mixed methods studies is not readily accessible to the general readership of peer-reviewed biomedical and health services journals. Furthermore, existing guidelines for publishing mixed methods studies are not well known or applied by researchers and journal editors. Accordingly, this paper is intended to serve as a concise, practical resource for readers interested in core principles and practices of mixed methods research. We briefly describe mixed methods approaches and present illustrations from published biomedical and health services literature, including in cardiovascular care, summarize standards for the design and reporting of these studies, and highlight four central considerations for investigators interested in using these methods.

“…FMEA and other forms of prospective hazard analysis ask practitioners to identify potential hazards and rate their severity and likelihood to design processes that prevent them. These techniques have been applied to a broad range of care processes alone (26) and as part of multipronged programs (136), used to prioritize interventions (65), and credited with reducing medical errors (94). Human factors engineering applies an understanding of the cognitive and behavioral limitations of human beings to system design.…”

Hospital errors are a seemingly intractable problem and continuing threat to public health. Errors resist intervention because too often the interventions deployed fail to address the fundamental source of errors: weak organizational safety culture. This review applies and extends a theoretical model of safety culture that suggests it is a function of interrelated processes of enabling, enacting, and elaborating that can reduce hospital errors over time. In this model, enabling activities help shape perceptions of safety climate, which promotes enactment of safety culture. We then classify a broad array of interventions as enabling, enacting, or elaborating a culture of safety. Our analysis, which is intended to guide future attempts to both study and more effectively create and sustain a safety culture, emphasizes that isolated interventions are unlikely to reduce the underlying causes of hospital errors. Instead, reducing errors requires systemic interventions that address the interrelated processes of safety culture in a balanced manner.
