Healthcare organizations continue to identify the need to consistently use research results to inform policy and management decisions. However, organizations and systems are complex, with many different players and competing interests. Research results are often not well understood and change is not readily accepted. This dynamic presents major challenges in accessing scientific evidence and putting that evidence into practice.
The Foundation is committed to providing organizations with a better understanding of the processes of change and learning, to enable them to align themselves with the best available evidence and promising practices and subsequently improve care and service.
Some questions we’re asking:
- What lessons are available from sectors outside of healthcare that could guide effective change management?
- How can we better engage healthcare professionals in policy and system change?
- How do factors such as power, leadership, resources, and culture support or impede change within an organization?
