Putting evidence into practice in aged care

Translating evidence, policies and procedures into everyday practice can be challenging, particularly when aged care clinicians are making complex decisions at the point of care.

The Bolton Clarke Research Institute’s Decision Support Tool Playbook translates learnings from an ARIIA-funded project into a practical, evidence-based resource to help aged care teams develop, implement and evaluate decision support tools that respond to real-world practice needs.

Bringing together research evidence, co-design and implementation, the Playbook provides a structured approach that takes teams from understanding a practice problem and developing a solution through to implementation and evaluation.

Freely available to the aged care sector, the Playbook shares learnings from an aged care practice improvement project so they can be applied to other practice challenges across the sector.
