FROM EVIDENCE TO IMPLEMENTATION: HOW SYSTEMS DESIGN CAN FORESEE COMPLEX HEALTHCARE INTERVENTIONS

Abstract

Abstract How can we design and engineer research that leads to the development and effective implementation of complex healthcare interventions? We advocate for a systems design-based approach when initiating clinical research to anticipate the proposition of complex interventions. Using cognitive care as an example, we investigate how hybrid design-inspired methodologies can promote organisational effectiveness and how strong clinical evidence can support successful conceptualisation and uptake of novel interventions into routine clinical practice.
