Patient-centered Dissemination of Evidence-based Medicine: Share EBM
The active strategy for dissemination and implementation of Share Evidence Based Medicine
(EBM) will yield greater reach of clinicians, be adopted by the practices more readily, and
a greater uptake of use amongst encounters will be seen.
The Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) is a nonprofit organization with
expertise in large-scale practice improvement at the state and national level. Largely
funded by health organizations in Minnesota, ICSI has a sustainable model to translate
evidence into practice, through clinical practice guidelines, shared decision making, and
practice redesign. A partnership between these two organizations (ICSI and Mayo Clinic) may
lead to a sustainable and innovative approach to the dissemination of evidence-based health
information at the point of care.
The objective of the current study is therefore to leverage the expertise of these two
organizations to compare the impact of an active to a passive dissemination and
implementation strategy of the ShareEBM toolkit. The aim of the study is to disseminate
evidence-based information through the use of decision aids during encounters. The overall
purpose of the qualitative evaluation is to understand why decision aids were used more or
less in certain practices and what factors contributed to or hindered this uptake.
