Abstract

Abstract: This department column highlights translation of research into healthcare quality practice. Achieving the highest quality in healthcare is a goal that requires focused attention and accountability. Standardization in practice through translation and application of evidence-informed practice promotes excellence in outcomes. To meet the goal of achieving the highest quality of care through evidence-informed translation and application in practice, organizations should outline a plan for developing, organizing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-informed improvement interventions. The purpose of this article is to provide an example for developing an organizational model for improvement from concept to application.
