Resumo

As home care quality initiatives increase agencies must integrate evidence-based practice. This article reviews a model of quality improvement to guide system change that can be used to implement best evidence and suggests that most agencies fall within three stages of preparedness. Based on the stage of readiness, specific steps to move toward successful implementation of best practice are recommended.
