  • Improving Patient Care

    • 1 Edición
    • Martin Eccles + 2 más
    • Inglés
    In the field of health care, a very large number of valuable insights, procedures and technologies become available each year.

As many of these innovations are not adopted into daily practice, at the expense of improved patient care, it is crucial to understand how sucessful implementation can be achieved. There are many reasons for this failure, such as the nature of the proposed method of working or simply that it is new; similarly, economic, structural or financial barriers may exist. Given the increasing significance and frequency of change in healthcare environments, the new research findings and hence insights into the implementation of change must be made available.
