Capacity Building of Leaders in Healthcare Organizations

Abstract

There is a great need for organizational leaders to provide data-based evidence that a program or initiative makes a difference.

The STS approach, developed through Trist and Bamforth's 1951 examination of work processes in the mining industry, has been widely applied to the domain of IT implementation in health care (Borycki & Kushniruk, 2010;Dillion, 2000;Katz & Kahn, 1978).…”

This model provides an infrastructure that supports value-based, relationship-based, and integrated evidence-based practice (EBP) throughout the organization (Grigsby, Westmoreland, & Shiparski, 2002).…”
