title: Knowledge to action: integrating the use of evidence in management decision making.
abstract: This article describes an intervention project focused on laying the foundation for the integration of evidence in management decision making in a home healthcare organization. The current state and readiness for change were assessed, revealing barriers and enablers to using evidence in decision making. Strategies were developed and implemented to address the barriers. Practical steps are outlined to assist other healthcare organizations wishing to embark on the journey of integrating evidence in management decision making.
