title: Changing healthcare organisations to change clinical performance.
abstract: We propose the formation of evidence-based clinical practice support units in hospitals and clinical research implementation networks. The purpose of these initiatives will be to increase the uptake of beneficial forms of care and remove harmful or ineffective practices. They will bring together clinicians and other professionals to improve clinical care across the healthcare system.
