Abstract
Statement of Problem: Worldwide, Strategic Clinical Networks (SCNs) are structures developed to improve patient safety, care quality, and evidence-based practices in healthcare systems. Stakeholder engagement plays a key role in enhancing quality improvement (QI) initiatives within SCNs; however, little is known about what factors affect engagement within these Networks. This study aimed to assess which factors were most predictive of stakeholders’ intention to engage within these networks in a Canadian healthcare setting.
