Prospective study of the multisite spread of a medication safety intervention: factors common to hospitals with improved outcomes.
Organizational context can serve as a driver or barrier to the implementation of patient safety interventions. This qualitative study identified several contextual factors impacting the implementation of the pharmacist-driven Nephrotoxic Injury Negated by Just-In-Time Action (NINJA) intervention. Hospitals succeeding in reducing medication-related acute kidney injury were more likely to have additional pharmacy support and/or a nephrologist team member with organizational support.
