CONCLUSION
This qualitative process study provides clear, real world perspectives
of the myriad of challenges encountered in replicating an evidencebased
project. It also illuminates the important factors that must be considered
and addressed when diffusing innovation within health care settings.
The findings discussed in this paper are consistent with several
other studies’ experience conducting translational research.
Introducing innovation requires change in current practice standards
organizationally and individually, which is always difficult to institute.
Kilbourne et al. (2004) found that when translating an evidence-based,
cost effectivemodel of depression management into the primary care setting,
changing practice proved to be extremely difficult due to organizational,
financial and individual barriers. Changing individual behavior is
a daunting task even when only one clinical practice guideline is altered.
For example, despite a plethora of evidence published regarding themost
appropriate treatment for high blood pressure, recent research studies
suggest that physicians are not prescribing the appropriate medications
for most of their hypertensive patients (Holmes, Shevrin, Goldman, &
Share, 2004). This is primarily attributed to a lack of effective dissemination
of practice guidelines to physicians and patients.
Nananda Col (2005) identified the primary impediments of disseminating
evidence-based models into clinical practice. Some of these barriers
include difficulty in effectively communicating research findings
into terminology familiar to clinicians and appropriately targeting clinicians
for dissemination of the model. Communicating effectively and
establishing buy in from clinical staff and organizational leadership are
key elements needed to ensure successful replication of an evidencebased
model. This was not only a key finding from the IPCP project but
within other research studies as well. Although translating evidencebased
research into practice is complicated, it is a critical task that must
be conducted more frequently in order to improve the efficacy and quality
of clinical practice.
