Summary

An Ontario-wide study to identify best strategies to promote uptake of high quality, expert developed Clinical Pathways (CPs) within Emergency Departments.

The investigators will work with 16 Community EDs across Ontario to i) tailor an implementation strategy that works for each ED, ii) assist with the implementation of one pediatric emergency CP (Asthma or Gastroenteritis) at each site, and iii) evaluate the impact on health professionals, patient outcomes and economic costs. The investigators will conduct a 3.5 - year mixed methods health services research project with four study objectives: 1) to design a theory-based and knowledge user-informed intervention strategy to successfully implement two provincial pediatric emergency clinical pathways into practice in community Emergency Departments (EDs); 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of this implementation strategy; 3) to conduct a process evaluation to assess the implementation strategy; and 4) to conduct an economic analysis to evaluate implementation costs and benefits.
