Evaluation of Africa-Europe patient safety hospital partnerships: a framework

Methods To mitigate expected challenges to evaluation implementation in African contexts, end-users contributed heavily to framework development, providing contextual awareness and building ownership. Indicators for each of the three objectives were identified, scrutinized and refined. Capture tools were sourced or developed. A three-step process was used: first, expert-led literature review; second, expert consensus; and third, consultative selection of key indicators with end users (African APPS hospitals). Available HAI tools were incorporated into the framework.
