Adapting evidence-based clinical practice guidelines at university teaching hospitals: A model for the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are significant tools for evidence-based health care quality improvement. The CPG program at King Saud University was launched as a quality improvement program to fulfil the internationa accreditation standards. This study aims to develop a fast-track method for adaptation of evidence-based CPGs and describe results of the program. 

Making Integrated Care Happen

IFIC Ireland will host and facilitate a series of 6 webinars throughout 2020 titled ‘Making Integrated Care Happen’ which forms one of the key delivery mechanisms enabling knowledge mobilisation across all stakeholders with an interest in developing and implementing integrated care within the healthcare systems on the island of Ireland.

It is important that those taking integrated care forward are enabled to share their experience, success and failures with others. Spread and sustainability can be accelerated if innovators and leaders are supported to work together in learning networks through which information and intelligence can be shared. This helps to avoid the same mistakes being made, can avoid unnecessary duplication of effort and can help build commitment and support by enabling leaders to work together in a community of practice.
