The first objective is to explore factors that impede or facilitate implementation of SSR in pathology (and other disciplines) among the MDT members receiving SSRs. The second objective is to select, develop and evaluate (process and effect outcomes) implementation tools supporting optimal implementation of SSR in pathology. The third objective is to offer implementation tools to all pathology laboratories in the Netherlands and to share the SSR-kit for successful implementation with other medical disciplines
By implementing SSR in various disciplines, we contribute to improving communication, efficiency and quality of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings and facilitate optimal treatment decision making. Optimal discussion of each patient at MDT meetings can be achieved by a clear communication of all diagnostic results among MDT members. However, the adoption of innovations, such as SSR, is laborious, especially when the innovation requires changing daily habits. Offering implementation tools supports the adoption of innovations among medical professionals. Implementation tools are most effective when they are developed on the basis of factors that impede or facilitate the innovation. Besides the importance of investigating these factors for SSR among pathologists, we will also involve MDT members receiving pathology SSRs in our study. After all, because MDT members will greatly benefit from SSR, they could play a key role in stimulating the use of SSR among pathologists. Therefore, we will also explore which tools MDT members need to stimulate the diagnostic disciplines in using SSR. Subsequently, we will develop and evaluate implementation tools to support the use of SSR by pathologists. The kit for successful implementation of SSR will be offered to other medical disciplines like radiology, endoscopy, and surgery who face similar challenges with implementation of SSR. The SSR-kit consists of our multidisciplinary approach for the whole process of developing implementation tools for SSR, examples of tools for SSR, and other results of this project.
