The influence of context on the effectiveness of hospital quality improvement strategies: a review of systematic reviews.

Kringos DS, Sunol R, Wagner C, et al for the DUQuE Consortium. BMC Health Serv Res. 2015;15:277.

The variable success of patient safety interventions has been attributed to the context in which these strategies have been implemented. In this systematic review, researchers found that contextual aspects that influence success of interventions are not systematically examined or reported, hindering understanding of how context affects implementation of patient safety efforts.
