The SUMAMOS EXCELENCIA Project: Assessment of Implementation of Best Practices in a National Health System
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating GRIP (Getting Research into Practice) model for Age Problem. Completed, enrolled 300 participants.
Detailed Summary
There is a gap between research and clinical practice, leading to variability in decision-making. Clinical audits are an effective strategy for improving implementation of best practices. Quasi-experimental, multicentre, before-and-after. Primary-care and hospital-care units and associated socio-healthcare structures, and the patients attended at both. Implementation of evidence-based recommendations by application of the Getting Research into Practice model (process of improvement by reference to a prior baseline clinical audit. Data will be collected at baseline and, during the first year of follow up, at months (3, 6, 9,12)

Timeline
Interventions
The intervention will consist of the use of the GRIP (Getting Research into Practice) model and implementation of its strategies in clinical practice, according to the study unit in question and the scope of action. The GRIP model is a process of improvement by reference to a prior baseline clinical audit. It implies a local situation analysis, identifying the obstacles to improvements in clinical practice, and drawing up and implementing a plan of action for the purpose of improving adherence to pre-established criteria. The goal is to establish interprofessional processes within the teams, in order to: examine the obstacles that hinder the use of evidence in fostering best practices; and contribute to the development of implementation programmes for overcoming such obstacles.
