A Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) funded study engaged health visitors in investigating the ways in which routinely collected data were captured, stored, transferred, analysed and then used to inform clinical practice. This report focuses on the establishment of a community of practice (CoP) to support these activities and then presents the outcome of the CoP's investigations into the collection and use of data on one key area of concern; maternal smoking behaviour. Evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice made by the CoP ranged from simple changes to the daily working practices of health visitors to ensure accurate data collection and dissemination of information, to major changes to processes and procedures relating to data quality and data sharing. The findings of the CoP emphasised the importance of cross-discipline communication and collaboration.
一项由应用健康研究与护理领导力合作组织（CLAHRC）资助的研究，让健康访视员参与调查常规收集的数据是如何被获取、存储、传输、分析以及随后用于为临床实践提供信息的。本报告聚焦于建立一个实践社区（CoP）以支持这些活动，然后呈现该实践社区对一个关键关注领域（孕产妇吸烟行为）的数据收集和使用情况的调查结果。该实践社区为临床实践提出的循证建议范围广泛，从对健康访视员日常工作实践的简单改变以确保准确的数据收集和信息传播，到与数据质量和数据共享相关的流程和程序的重大改变。该实践社区的研究结果强调了跨学科沟通与协作的重要性。
