A consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) guided exploration of key informant perspectives on establishing a pharmacist-led anticoagulation service in primary care: a qualitative study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGlobally, pharmacist-led anticoagulation services have improved patient outcomes in secondary and tertiary care settings. However, there is a paucity of literature about establishing such services within primary care settings.
aimThis study explored key informants' perceptions regarding the systemic and procedural factors influencing development and implementation of a pharmacist-led anticoagulation service in a primary care setting.
methodA descriptive qualitative study was conducted at Qatar's largest primary healthcare institution, the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC). Selected key informants, including healthcare center managers, pharmacy leads, physician leads and primary care physicians with cardiology privileges, were purposively recruited. Semi-structured interviews were guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and analyzed using framework analysis.
resultsElven key informants were interviewed. The participants expressed confidence in the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing anticoagulation service in primary care to address patients' needs. Key factors (mapped to CFIR domains) included ensuring pharmacist competency (Characteristics of Individuals), establishing effective internal and external communication (Inner and Outer Setting), and addressing staffing shortages (Inner Setting). Participants also emphasized on developing standardized operational protocols and training programs (Process), as well as integrating services with secondary care (Outer Setting). Despite challenges such as staffing, participants believed the service would effectively address patient needs if adequately supported.
conclusionThe implementation of pharmacist-led anticoagulation services in primary care settings was identified as both feasible and essential for improving patient outcomes. The insights from this study can inform future initiatives aimed at enhancing anticoagulation management in primary care settings.
