Abstract:
The number of published scientific articles has been increasing for several years. Implementation of evidence-based knowledge in clinical practice is, however, lagging behind. Patient safety campaigns suggest that the implementation of best practice can be accelerated. The Danish Operation Life Campaign is based on rests on a model used in the American 100K Lives Campaign in order to achieve this goal. Campaigns suffer from the inability of the methods to prove a relationship between intervention and results. However, from the patients' point of view, any improvement in quality and safety is a success.
