The successful implementation of evidence into practice is dependent on
aligning the available evidence to the particular context through the
active ingredient of facilitation. Designed to support the widely
recognised PARIHS framework, which works as a guide to plan, action and
evaluate the implementation of evidence into practice, this book
provides a very practical 'how-to' guide for facilitating the whole
process.
This text discusses:
- undertaking an initial diagnosis of the context and reaching a
consensus on the evidence to be implemented;
- how to link the research evidence with clinical and patients'
experience and local information in the form of audit data or patient
and staff feedback;
- the range of diagnostic, consensus building and stakeholder
consultation methods that can be helpful;
- a description of facilitator roles and facilitation methods, tools and
techniques;
- some of theories that underpin the PARIHS framework and how these have
been integrated to inform a revised version of PARIHS
Including internationally-sourced case study examples to illustrate how
the facilitation role and facilitation skills have been applied in a
range of different health care settings, this is the ideal text for
those interested in leading or facilitating evidence based
implementation projects, from the planning stage through to evaluation.
