Isolation of health services research from practice and policy: the example of chronic heart failure management. Seow, Phillips et al. (2006)
This study examined how health services research connects with practice and policy, first by investigating whether successful research projects continued in their test settings and
engendered replication and then by examining whether a coherent body of research helped shape public policy. Chronic heart failure (CHF) was studied because randomized, controlled trials of posthospital CHF disease management have repeatedly demonstrated patient benefits and reduced costs, yet this practice has not become standard in the United States
