INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
There is a gap between research and clinical practice, leading to variability in decision-making. Multifaceted implementation strategies are for improving implementation of best practices. Quasi-experimental, multicentre, before and after. Primary care, hospital units and nursing homes, and the patients attended at both. Implementation of evidence-based recommendations by application of a multifaceted implementation strategy (training, audit, context analysis, local strategies design, feedback, facilitation). Data will be collected at baseline and, during the first year of follow up, at months (4,8,12)

Interventions
The multifaceted implementation strategy consist in a process of improvement by reference to a prior baseline clinical audit. It implies a local context analysis, identifying barriers to improvements in clinical practice, and developing and implementing a plan of action for improving adherence to pre-established criteria. The goal is to establish interprofessional processes within the teams, in order to: examine the barriers that hinder the use of evidence in fostering best practices; and contribute to the development of implementation programmes for overcoming such obstacles.
