Learning from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Quality Enhancement Research Initiative: QUERI Series
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: As the recent collection of papers from the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) Series indicates, knowledge is leading to considerable action in the United States (U.S.) Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The QUERI Series offers clinical researchers, implementation scientists, health systems, and health research funders from around the globe a unique window into the both the practice and science of implementation or knowledge translation (KT) in the VA. By describing successes and challenges as well as setbacks and disappointments, the QUERI Series is all the more useful. From the vantage point of Canadian KT researchers and officials at a national health research funding agency, we offer a number of observations and lessons that can be learned from QUERI. "Knowledge, if it does not determine action, is dead to us." Plotinus (Roman philosopher 205AD-270AD).
