Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Technology Assessment
  • Implementation Science

Background:

  • Horizon-scanning organizations generate early warning messages on emerging health technologies.
  • Effective dissemination and impact of these messages are crucial for timely adoption.
  • Existing evidence on implementation strategies varies in quality and target group applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify how horizon-scanning organizations can enhance the implementation of their recommendations.
  • To explore effective strategies for disseminating early warning messages about health technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the EUR-ASSESS Project Subgroup report on dissemination and impact.
  • Overview of systematic reviews on implementing research findings for healthcare professionals.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care Group protocols and reviews.

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence quality for implementation strategies differs across target groups (healthcare professionals, policymakers, public).
    • Strategies influencing healthcare professionals show some effectiveness from rigorous studies.
    • Limited high-quality evidence exists for influencing policymakers and the general public.

    Conclusions:

    • Horizon-scanning organizations should develop active, evidence-based implementation strategies.
    • Establishing links with key stakeholder groups is essential for message impact.
    • Directing early warning messages to specific target audiences improves likelihood of action.
    • Rigorous evaluation of implementation strategies is necessary due to limited evidence.
