Overview

Field trial assesses adoption of health systems methods in Ethiopian hospitals, suggesting training boosts effectiveness.

Key Points

  • Evaluate the adoption rate of a structured health systems methodology in Ethiopian district hospitals and identify key implementation determinants.
  • Conducted a randomized field trial across 24 district hospitals
  • Hospitals randomly assigned to intervention or control arms
  • Intervention involved training and support for the PDSA methodology
  • Adoption measured via validated adherence scale over 12 months
  • Used a linear mixed-effects model for primary analysis.
  • Intervention hospitals had a higher mean adoption score (65%) compared to controls (42%)
  • Key barrier identified was insufficient mid-level management engagement post-training.
