Examining the implementation of a multi-site evidence-based intervention to reduce fluoroquinolone usage: A qualitative content analysis of staff interviews to identify facilitators and barriers.
Article in Applied ergonomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Clostridioides difficile infection is the most common healthcare-associated infection, causing almost half a million infections in the United States annually. Inappropriate antibiotic usage is a known risk factor. Antibiotic stewardship efforts aim to optimize prescribing. Evidence supports pre-prescription authorization as a highly effective intervention. A pre-prescription intervention for fluoroquinolone antibiotics via a computerized clinical decision support tool called a "best practice alert" (BPA) embedded in the patient's electronic health records has high potential for improving antibiotic stewardship. However, information is scant about the factors that might impact the uptake and effectiveness of this BPA and other similar evidence-based interventions when spread and adopted across multiple independent sites. Therefore, we utilized the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to understand the facilitators and barriers to the implementation process that influence clinical and implementation outcomes. In doing so, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 healthcare professionals across four hospitals. Our research team performed a qualitative analysis to understand the contextual factors influencing the implementation outcomes, such as acceptability and sustainability. TAKEAWAYS: The following themes highlight the factors affecting the implementation of this healthcare innovation. INTERVENTION CHARACTERISTICS DOMAIN: Designing interventions that are customizable and low maintenance. INNER SETTING DOMAIN: Maturity level of the Antibiotic Stewardship Program. INDIVIDUALS DOMAIN: Implementer's experience/attitudes in implementing healthcare innovations. OUTER SETTING DOMAIN: The ability to prioritize initiatives as the organization responds to unintended circumstances (e.g., COVID). PROCESS DOMAIN: Adapting implementation approaches and strategies as technology spreads.
