Introduction
This unit examines the relationship between research and the practice of management in healthcare organisations. Students will explore how healthcare organisations can use theory to inform practice, taking account of multiple stakeholder perspectives. Students will have the opportunity to learn and apply the different levels of evidence to inform decision-making. Interrelated knowledge translation concepts will be reviewed and critiqued for use in the healthcare environment including implementation, dissemination, diffusion, transfer and exchange.
