Recenzje

This third edition arrives at the right time for scholars and all others committed to implementing effective strategies into health practice and policy. The coronavirus pandemic has challenged us to rethink our assumptions about how quickly care can change, while also revealing the scope and impact of longstanding inequities in health care. With some of the top global scholars in dissemination and implementation research, this book guides readers through each component of robust implementation research practices for modern day care. It should be required reading for all those who seek to achieve a learning healthcare system and evidence informed health policy.
