Sustainability of a Research Program in Risk Management (PeRENNITe)

Interventions: Other: Sustainability of a research program in risk management

Brief Summary: Sustainability can be defined by several dimensions: the pursuit of program elements, the maintenance of its effectiveness, its integration into work processes, the adaptation of the program to the local context, its integration into the organizational culture, the dissemination of the program to other centres. Studies show that the continuation of the entire intervention is rare once the research stops.

The PRisM study (Pluriprofessionality and Risk Management through a Multifaceted Program in Primary Care) was a primary care risk management (RM) research project. Its purpose was to develop a safety culture within the participating multi-professional primary care structures. From 2015 to 2017, multi-professional primary care offices participated in the study, half of which implemented a RM program consisting of: 1) Training on RM in the context of primary care; 2) The appointment of a RM referent; 3) The conduct of six meetings of systematic analysis of incidents.

The PRisM study represents a favorable ground for the development of a methodology for evaluating the sustainability of a RM program in primary care.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
PRisM program	Sustainability of a research program in risk management	Pluriprofessional primary care offices with the PRiSM RM program: * Nine of the pluriprofessional primary care offices which implemented the RM program tested in the PRiSM study (2015-2017). The program consisted in: 1) Training on RM in the context of primary care; 2) The appointment of a RM referent in the office; 3) The conduct of six incident review meetings. * All participating offices had to declare adverse events that occurred during the time frame of the PRiSM study. * All participating offices had to fill in the safety climate survey MOSPS at the beginning and at the end of the PRiSM study.
Control	Sustainability of a research program in risk management	Pluriprofessional primary care offices without the PRiSM RM program: * Nine of the offices pluriprofessional primary care offices which didn't implement the RM program tested in the PRiSM study (2015-2017). They belonged to the PRisM study control group. * All participating offices had to declare adverse events that occurred during the time frame of the PRiSM study. * All participating offices had to fill in the safety climate survey MOSPS at the beginning and at the end of the PRiSM study.
