Přenos výzkumu do praxe − tvorba a implementace metodiky měření kvality paliativní a hospicové péče v ČR
The transfer of research into practice - the creation and implementation of a methodology for measuring the quality of palliative and hospice care in the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the approach to, and the results of, the transfer of research into practice using the example of the development and implementation of a methodology for measuring the quality of palliative and hospice care in the Czech Republic. The first part of the article is devoted to the background to the rapidly developing research on the dissemination and implementation of knowledge into practice (D&IR), and presents the RE-AIM monitoring and evaluation framework. The second part of the paper evaluates the implementation of the new methodology into practice using the REAIM framework. It concludes that user involvement in the development of the toolkit has proved to be successful and its implementation has led to changes in the perceptions of hospices of statistics and adjustments to certain internal processes. It appears that although not all the implementation steps were fully realised and adherence to deadlines was low, this flexibility factor may, in fact, represent an advantage in practice. On the other hand, if the results of the methodology are not presented and discussed with hospices, the perception of the outcomes is likely to be problematic. Overall, the newly developed methodology has the potential for dissemination into practice.
