Overview

Systematic review protocol outlines implementation mechanisms of electronic medication systems in hospital settings, highlighting sociotechnical drivers of safety and workflow efficiency.

Key Points

  • Establish a theory-informed systematic review protocol to evaluate the organizational mechanisms and sociotechnical factors influencing patient safety, operational efficiency, and staff experience during hospital implementation of electronic medication management systems.
  • Search seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, ABI/INFORM Collection, and Business Source Premier) for empirical hospital studies published between 2010 and 2026.
  • Select studies that centrally apply a theoretical or conceptual framework and evaluate methodological quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) Version 2018.
  • Synthesize findings through theory-informed thematic synthesis to structure implementation mechanisms into higher-order domains (PROSPERO CRD420261283974).
  • Protocol paper; primary empirical findings and pooled effect estimates are not yet available.
  • The planned synthesis aims to deliver an explanatory framework mapping how local organizational structures drive successful long-term adoption of digital medication workflows.
