2019 PCORI Annual Meeting Plenary Session - How Can We Do That? Effectively Putting New Evidence into Practice
- -
Studies have shown that it typically takes 17 years for the results of a randomized controlled trial to reach clinical practice, if it makes it there at all. The gap between what we know will improve health care and what is taken up in practice remains an important obstacle to improving the healthcare system and patients’ health. Implementation strategies to integrate evidence into practice settings where patients and clinicians can use it to actively inform decisions, as well as dissemination activities to enhance awareness of relevant information, are essential routes to improving health care and health outcomes. This Morning Plenary session will highlight three PCORI-funded implementation projects that take the results of PCORI-funded comparative clinical effectiveness research studies and promote their uptake in real-world clinical practice settings.
