Evaluating an integrated quality improvement and research approach: the <i>Just Cos Initiative</i>

An integrated model using research evidence combined with quality improvement identified two low value practices that required practice change. It provided a psychologically safe mechanism through which staff could be curious about their practice. There is the opportunity to scale this approach to further improve the uptake of evidence based or informed practices within the healthcare setting.

Abstract

An integrated model using research evidence combined with quality improvement identified two low value practices that required practice change. It provided a psychologically safe mechanism through which staff could be curious about their practice. There is the opportunity to scale this approach to further improve the uptake of evidence based or informed practices within the healthcare setting.
