Strengthening Organization to Implement Evidence-based Clinical Practice
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Organization Model and Data Feedback Model for Hand Washing. Completed, enrolled 1,624 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Evidence-based clinical practices (EBCPs) are often not widely adopted, despite extensive efforts to influence individual practitioners to use them. The aim of the project is to work with Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN) 1, 10, and 23 and their medical centers to create and test organizations that facilitate the use of EBCPs. The research objectives are to: Test the effectiveness of the proposed organizational model in comparison with a more limited data-feedback strategy in improving system use of a selected EBCP; Identify and analyze organizational factors that affect model implementation; Test the feasibility of intervention activities to introduce and support the model.
