Abstract

This article reports on the use of a RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework hybrid adaptation as a methodological approach to the evaluation of the implementation of a Hospital Transfer Pathway (HTP) product (‘Red Bag’). Data analysis was guided by original principles of the RE-AIM framework, which is a recognised tool for understanding impact of an intervention in establishing a newly adapted hybrid model of implementation. Outcomes of the study were used to reflexively inform future working relationships between multi-agency partners in care.
