Dataset: Factors that influence the implementation of quality improvement programs (HEALTHQUAL Program)

Evaluative research (implementation analysis) with a multiple case study was carried out using a qualitative research design. Thirty-eight semi-structured interviews, observations were made, and documents analyzed. Data analysis was performed using the constant comparative methods and a synthetic analysis framework with predefined categories (program components, facilitating factors, inhibiting factors, mechanisms, consequences and interactions between model elements).

Subsequently, these categories were analyzed inductively using the “Atlas ti” software and adding other emerging codes in the pre-defined categories. Memos and a “research journal” were used during data collection and analysis. Those data shed light on the main facilitators and obstacles to the implementation of quality improvement programs in the context of Haiti.
