title: Getting the right information to the table: using technology to support evidence-based decision making.
abstract: Healthcare executives report that it is difficult to access the research literature and once found, it is frequently not relevant. A study was conducted to explore ways in which healthcare executives, enrolled in the EXTRA program, used a virtual desktop environment. Despite some design and function limitations, the desktop was perceived positively by most participants and was effective in supporting evidence-informed practice and decision making.
