Research in service settings: Part I--Consortium project outcomes.
As nurse executives in today's cost-conscious environment attempt to meet their professional responsibilities for encouraging and supporting staff involvement in nursing research, they may wish to consider strategies similar to those described here. In this unique 3-year project, a consortium of nine health care agencies shared research expertise and resources, with the overall aim of incorporating nursing research into practice. This article reports the outcomes and the authors' assessment of the experience. Part 2 , which will be published in the March issue of JONA will describe the consortium's current focus and program.
