The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has produced a guide, “Will It Work Here? A Decisionmaker’s Guide to Adopting Innovations,” that can help you make the right call. It guides you through the four fundamental questions that have to be answered while considering any innovation:
- Does the innovation fit?
- Should we do it here?
- Can we do it here?
- How can we do it here?
Each of these questions has its own module, which include a range of questions and issues that must be addressed before deciding whether to adopt an innovation. If you decide to use the innovation, the publication offers a step-by-step guide to making it happen smoothly and effectively.
