Road Map For Diffusion Of Innovation In Health Care

E. Andrew Balas, Wendy W. Chapman · 2018 · Health Affairs

This paper examines clinical failures from premature adoption and proposes an integrated roadmap for safely diffusing medical innovations. The framework emphasizes translating knowledge into practice, assessing changes systematically, standardizing intervention descriptions, and using technology to manage knowledge sharing across institutions.
