Objectives: A systematic review of the
effectiveness and costs of different guideline development,
dissemination, and implementation strategies wasundertaken. The resource
implications of these strategies was estimated, and a framework for
deciding when it is efficient to develop and introduce clinical
guidelines was developed.
We demonstrated that ITS designs are often analyzed inappropriately, underpowered, and poorly reported in implementation research. We have illustrated a framework for appraising ITS designs, and more widespread adoption of this framework would strengthen reviews that use ITS designs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
