Abstract

Best Practice Health Care is a designed product. Various types of evidence must be accessed, interpreted, and integrated into care design. This integration requires thoughtful organizational planning. The Best Practice Health Care Map provides a model for managing the characteristics of quality clinical care within the framework of multi-disciplinary professional practice. The model incorporates the contributions of various forms of evidence into pre-specification design and point-of-care design.
