Background:
Healthcare research and evidence uptake to improve seniors' health can be characterized by persistent gaps and glacial progress.
Objective:
This qualitative study draws on interviews with 15 experts to explore avenues for improving research evidence uptake to support necessary health system transformation, and improved person-centred care for older adults.
Methods:
Qualitative data were analyzed deductively using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research as a guiding conceptual framework, followed by inductive coding to capture additional emerging themes.
Findings:
Three themes were identified through thematic analysis: (1) Context: Local Conditions and Leadership; (2) Culture: Building a Collaborative Research Environment; and (3) Creativity: Adaptive Problem-Solving given Resource Constraints.
Discussion:
Together, these themes illuminate the conditions under which evidence uptake and care delivery transformation are most achievable in seniors' healthcare.
