Table 2.

Perceived influence on practice and areas of improvement discussed in qualitative interviews with hospital team members

Perceived influence on practice	Areas for improvement
Highlighted problems with assessments and processes	Little use of ‘check and challenge’ process
Changes primarily to delirium and mobility assessments, changes to equipment use	Overlap with existing practices—‘another piece of paper’
Space to reflect and focus attention on frailty	Difficulties spreading outside the initial improvement team
Worked as a prompt to identify things being missed	The tool itself did not prompt any action or close loops—depends on individual action
Easy and quick to use—some ambiguities allowed localisation	Some items still ambiguous and open to interpretation
