The gap between research findings and clinical practice is well documented a range of interventions has been developed to increase the implementation into practice. A review systematic reviews effectiveness designed use in search for relevant was conducted Medline Cochrane Database Reviews 1998-2009. 13 containing 313 primary studies were included. Four strategy types are identified: audit feedback; computerised decision support; opinion leaders; multifaceted interventions. Nine reported on...
This article illustrates how distributed change agency can implement complex organizational changes in the absence of formal management plans, roles, and structures. Distributed typically involves small teams senior groups. In this qualitative study service improvements treatment prostate cancer at an acute hospital, Grange, roles were more widely, with responsibilities `migrating' among a large informal cast supporting four central characters. distribution appears to have been triggered by...

Differences in stroke care and outcomes reported Europe may reflect different degrees of implementation evidence-based interventions. We evaluated strategies for implementing research evidence into 10 European countries.A questionnaire was developed administered through face-to-face interviews with key informants. Implementation were investigated considering 3 levels (macro, meso, micro, eg, policy, organization, patients/professionals) identified by the framing analysis, settings (primary,...
We here argue that study of governance systems within increasingly pluralist health care needs to be broadened beyond traditionally public sector orientated literature. develop an initial typology multiple the English and derive exploratory questions inform future empirical investigation. add existing literature by considering coexistence - possible tensions between in a pluralised social system.
