The ART of evidence-based care: proof of concept of a novel strategy to accelerate research translation in health organisations.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study evaluated a novel strategy to improve accessibility of implementation science to clinicians in a large health network. The strategy, called Accelerating Research Translation (ART), was based on an adaptation of the A3 problem-solving method developed for use in healthcare quality improvement.

Method

An observational pre-post design was used to conduct a 'proof-of-concept' trial of the ART strategy. Clinicians who identified a gap between a clinical practice guideline and usual care were recruited as Project Leads to conduct research translation projects over a 6-month period, supported by a training programme involving a workshop series and mentor. The proportion of patients receiving guideline-consistent care for each project was measured pre- and po
