Understanding the implementation of a multidisciplinary intervention using a suite of prescribing safety indicators to improve medication safety in prison healthcare settings: a qualitative study
New work processes and practices were instigated in order to implement the intervention, often fitting into existing medication safety practices, building on other prescribing work and creating learning across the team. While we found that prison staff reported challenges to implementation, similar interventions may be used for prescribing safety in prison settings.
