Understanding prerequisites for healthcare accreditation programs is vital for effective implementation. This study identifies key factors to ensure successful quality enhancement in primary healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Quality Improvement
- Health Systems Research
Background:
- Primary healthcare in Iran serves as the main point of contact for citizens.
- Health planners are focused on improving healthcare quality and implementing accreditation programs.
- This study investigates the essential prerequisites for administering such programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and meta-synthesize existing qualitative literature on healthcare accreditation program prerequisites.
- To identify key factors influencing the successful administration of primary healthcare accreditation.
- To provide evidence-based recommendations for health planners in Iran.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies was performed.
- Literature search was conducted across major databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar) up to 2023.
- Thomas and Hudson's framework guided the review process.
Main Results:
- Out of 1308 initial articles, 37 relevant qualitative studies were selected.
- Thirteen qualitative subthemes were identified from the selected literature.
- These subthemes were categorized according to the three elements of the Donabedian model (structure, process, outcome).
Conclusions:
- Identifying and addressing executive prerequisites before implementing healthcare plans is crucial.
- Proactive consideration of these prerequisites can prevent costly trial-and-error approaches.
