Performance improvement through clinical research utilization: the linkage model.
Performance improvement offers tremendous opportunities for research utilization in the clinical setting. The linkage model of research utilization is characterized by a user system that accesses a resource system, adapting research findings to clinical practice. A performance improvement consultant can be the link between these systems. Research application can be instrumental in improving care delivery as demonstrated in a project concentrating on the management of individuals experiencing a cerebrovascular accident.
