Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the policy environment for implementing evidence-based health care in Chile.

  • Snowball sampling strategy for participant recruitment.
  • Content analysis of interview data to create a matrix of operational power criteria and indicators.

    • Main Results:

    • Stakeholder concepts of evidence and effectiveness varied based on their roles.
    • Government-proposed innovations were often perceived as management-focused and not evidence-based.
    • Informal decision-making and political factors often superseded formal evidence.
    • Stakeholders felt empowered to define policy but not implement it.
    • Implementation barriers included system organization, organizational culture, and a need for skilled human resources.

    Conclusions:

    • Human factors are critical for successful implementation of evidence-based practice.
    • Policy-making must account for processual aspects and organizational culture.
    • Effective implementation in Chile's health care system requires addressing human resource needs and systemic/cultural barriers.
