Description
In the field of health care, a very large number of valuable insights, procedures and technologies become available each year. These come
from well planned scientific research or careful experiments and evaluation in everyday practice. 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.
This book examinines the process of introducing change and innovation into practice. With chapters on identifying problems
in the implementation, selecting strategies, effective implementation of policies, and evaluation of the success of the changes, this
book provides a comprehensive overview of all of the elements involved in the successful implementation of change.
Audience
General Practitioners and Primary care Trusts: Healthcare professionals, healthcare managers, healthcare quality experts, healthcare
facilitators, healthcare policy makers and healthcare researchers.
