  • Organizational studies in healthcare
  • Professional development and learning

Background:

  • Contemporary healthcare emphasizes external evidence implementation.

  • Case study approach with three distinct practice sites.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 41 practitioners across various roles and professions.

    • Main Results:

    • Context-specific (proximal) knowledge was found to be primary in informing patient care.
    • Practitioners adapt and manipulate external evidence and policy to align with local patient needs.
    • The study identified the significance of the immediate practice environment in knowledge utilization.

    Conclusions:

    • Local, context-specific knowledge holds significant weight in clinical decision-making.
    • External evidence and policy are often integrated and modified based on practitioners' understanding of patient needs.
    • Effective knowledge translation requires acknowledging and leveraging both external evidence and practitioner-derived, context-specific knowledge.
