Factors associated with successful implementation of Clean Cut: a perioperative surgical site infection prevention quality improvement programme—a cohort study of low-resource hospitals
Clean Cut implementation was more successful with smaller staff numbers, reflecting challenges with engaging large numbers of stakeholders. High-improvement hospitals overestimated baseline IPC practices, suggesting that this programme is most beneficial when it identifies gaps that hospitals were previously unaware of. Reassuringly, improvements were not dependent on specific resources, indicating that the approach can be implemented in many environments.
