Was there a framework used to guide the implementation? Did the author(s) describe any barriers to implementation? Was there improvement and if so, was the improvement sustained? Discuss what additional or alternative quality improvement methods, implementation science approaches, and framework you would have used or recommended.

For this week’s discussion, use the Saudi Digital Library to locate a scholarly journal article that details the use of implementation science to advance quality improvement in healthcare.

• Summarize the article to include the healthcare setting, the quality initiative, the methodology, and outcomes.
• Was there a framework used to guide the implementation?
• Did the author(s) describe any barriers to implementation?
• Was there improvement and if so, was the improvement sustained?
• Discuss what additional or alternative quality improvement methods, implementation science approaches, and framework you would have used or recommended.
• Describe two key takeaways from this article that you would incorporate into a similar quality improvement project in the future.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (which require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

You are required to make your initial post (create thread) in order to see others posts and make comments. You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post’s answer. Normal course dialogue does not fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
