This article summarizes an extensive literature review addressing the question,
How can we spread and sustain innovations in health service delivery and
organization? It considers both content (defining and measuring the diffusion of
innovation in organizations) and process (reviewing the literature in a
systematic and reproducible way). This article discusses (1) a parsimonious and
evidence‐based... hiện toàn bộ
Contribution of Primary Care to Health Systems and Health Tập 83 Số 3 - Trang 457-502 - 2005
Bárbara Starfield, Leiyu Shi, James Macinko
Evidence of the health‐promoting influence of primary care has been accumulating
ever since researchers have been able to distinguish primary care from other
aspects of the health services delivery system. This evidence shows that primary
care helps prevent illness and death, regardless of whether the care is
characterized by supply of primary care physicians, a relationship with a source
of prima... hiện toàn bộ
Trust in Physicians and Medical Institutions: What Is It, Can It Be Measured, and Does It Matter? Tập 79 Số 4 - Trang 613-639 - 2001
Mark A. Hall, Elizabeth Dugan, Beiyao Zheng, Aneil K. Mishra
Despite the profound and pervasive importance of trust in medical settings,
there is no commonly shared understanding of what trust means, and little is
known about what difference trust actually makes, what factors affect trust, and
how trust relates to other similar attitudes and behaviors. To address this gap
in understanding, the emerging theoretical, empirical, and public policy
literature on... hiện toàn bộ
How Good Is the Quality of Health Care in the United States? Tập 76 Số 4 - Trang 517-563 - 1998
Mark A. Schuster, Elizabeth A. McGlynn, Robert H. Brook
Studies over the past decade show that some people are receiving more care than

percent, recommended acute care; 30 percent, contraindicated acute care; 60
percent, recommended chronic care; and 20 percent, contraindicated chronic care.

Uncovering the Benefits of Participatory Research: Implications of a Realist Review for Health Research and Practice Tập 90 Số 2 - Trang 311-346 - 2012
Justin Jagosh, Ann C. Macaulay, Pierre Pluye, Jon Salsberg, Paula Louise Bush, Jim Henderson, Erin Sirett, Geoff Wong, Margaret Cargo, Carol P. Herbert, Sarena D. Seifer, Lawrence W. Green, Trisha Greenhalgh
Context: Participatory research (PR) is the co‐construction of research through
partnerships between researchers and people affected by and/or responsible for
action on the issues under study. Evaluating the benefits of PR is challenging
for a number of reasons: the research topics, methods, and study designs are
heterogeneous; the extent of collaborative involvement may vary over the
duration of ... hiện toàn bộ
Is Income Inequality a Determinant of Population Health? Part 1. A Systematic Review Tập 82 Số 1 - Trang 5-99 - 2004
John Lynch, George Davey Smith, Sam Harper, Marianne M. Hillemeier, Nancy A. Ross, George A. Kaplan, Michael Wolfson
This article reviews 98 aggregate and multilevel studies examining the
associations between income inequality and health. Overall, there seems to be
little support for the idea that income inequality is a major, generalizable
determinant of population health differences within or between rich countries.
Income inequality may, however, directly influence some health outcomes, such as
homicide in so... hiện toàn bộ
Planning and Studying Improvement in Patient Care: The Use of Theoretical Perspectives Tập 85 Số 1 - Trang 93-138 - 2007
Richard Grol, Marije Bosch, Marlies Hulscher, Martin Eccles, Michel Wensing
A consistent finding in articles on quality improvement in health care is that
change is difficult to achieve. According to the research literature, the
majority of interventions are targeted at health care professionals. But success
in achieving change may be influenced by factors other than those relating to
individual professionals, and theories may help explain whether change is
possible. This... hiện toàn bộ
