“…Yet effecting and documenting Level 3 uptake of improvements into clinical practice is a perennial challenge (Davis et al, 1999;Kulier et al, 2010;Oxman, Thomson, Davis, & Haynes, 1995;Takayesu, Nadel, Bhatia, & Walls, 2010). Past research has indicated that using multifaceted educational approaches, such as practice-based tools, quality improvement data, and using opinion leaders to influence practice behaviors, have the most success in effecting practice changes (Bradley et al, 2004;Gifford et al, 1999;Grol & Grimshaw, 2003;Vickrey, 2005).

Clinicians experience great pressures to provide timely, effective, and evidence-based medical care. Educators can aid these clinicians through the development of new tools that can facilitate timely completion of clinical tasks. These tools should summarize evidence-based information in a convenient format that allows easy use. This article describes one process in which a group of Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center educators identified an area where important new information accrued, their development of a new clinical and teaching tool for imparting the new information, the initial dissemination of the tool to a preliminary target audience, and the initial evaluation of the new tool to determine how to improve its distribution and use beyond the original target audience.
