Adopted a three-stage evaluation design with distinct analysis levels.
Utilized descriptive and exploratory methods, incorporating individual experiences to validate findings.

Highlighted significant contextual and practical issues affecting quality system implementation.
Suggested limited impact on practice and patient care improvement despite time and resources invested.
