Masterclasses

Research and conceptualisation for effective implementation of evidence (finding a way). Professor Margaret B Harrison, Queen's University, Ontario, Canada
Thu 26 March 2009, 08.00 - 09.00

Using the Canadian Institutes of Health's (formerly MRC) framework 'Knowledge to Action' explore the research methodologies that may be used on the journey to evidence-based practice. Topics could include how research and quality processes help form the alliance, pragmatic planning studies, who's decision is it at various stages?  Ideally the audience will participate and contribute their experience through various formal and informal enquiries undertaken to plan and evaluate an evidence implementation.
