Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of implementing emergency department quality standards in palestine: a qualitative study

This study found that frontline ED staff perceive the EDQS as both feasible and acceptable within the Palestinian context, despite persistent challenges related to knowledge gaps, resource constraints, and resistance to change. Importantly, these perceptions reflect professional commitment rather than ideal implementation conditions. The successful roll-out of EDQS will therefore depend on targeted capacity building, optimization of available resources, and a phased implementation approach supported by leadership and continuous monitoring, rather than solely on the standards themselves.
