title: Effective health care: integrating research into practice.
abstract: Although researchers are building a substantial evidence base on best practices in home care, less is known about how best to promote these practices. Well-thought-out strategies are needed to encourage the adoption of evidence-based practice, which integrates clinical expertise and patient preferences with the judicious use of the best available evidence. The authors outline some of these strategies, and explore why some are effective and some are not.
