Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Patient Safety
Medical Quality Improvement

Background:

Physician engagement is crucial for enhancing healthcare system safety and reliability.
Despite its importance, many physicians face barriers to participating in patient safety initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate how 10 high-performing US hospitals engage physicians in quality and safety improvement activities.

Main Methods:

A qualitative study involving site visits and semistructured interviews with 46 quality leaders and physicians.
Data were collected from 10 top-ranked US hospitals between 2010-2011.
Interview transcripts were analyzed using the constant comparative method.

Main Results:

A six-point framework for physician engagement was developed, encompassing engaged leadership, physician compacts, compensation, financial incentives, data/enablers, and promotion.
This framework represents a synthesis of best practices observed across high-performing institutions.

Conclusions:

While results may not be generalizable due to study design, the framework offers a valuable tool for organizations.
High-performing hospitals demonstrate that significant improvements in physician engagement are achievable.
The proposed framework can guide the development of effective strategies to involve physicians in quality and safety efforts.
