Abstract
Purpose: Explores recent approaches to international best practices and how they relate to context and innovation in health services.
Design/methodology/approach: Critical review of existing research on best practices and how they created, diffused, and translate in the international setting.
Findings: Best practices are widely used and discussed, but processes by which they are developed and diffused across international settings are not well understood.
Research implications: Further research is needed on innovation and dissemination of best practices internationally.
Originality/value: This commentary points out directions for future research on innovation and diffusion of best practices, particularly in the international setting.
