Abstract
Hospitals improve safety and workflow efficiency by implementing systems for identification of items and patients. Little is known about the implementation of these systems across entire hospitals. The aim of this study is to identify challenges and enablers of adoption of such systems at scale, within a hospital organisation and across the English NHS. The focus is on the experience of the Scan4Safety project at Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust (UK). Study methods are qualitative and include interviews with staff and review of documents. This poster paper presents preliminary findings of research in progress.
