This study uses qualitative interviews with leaders of 34 mental health clinics in the context of a statewide rollout of clinical and business innovations to explore how clinics first learn about innovations and which external sources of information they access. Clinic leaders reported accessing information about innovations mainly from government agencies, professional associations, peer organizations, and research literature. Leaders mentioned an average of two external sources of information. There was evidence of variation in how leaders accessed information and how information about innovations was communicated within clinics. Findings have implications for improving dissemination of information about innovations in mental health systems.
本研究采用定性访谈法,对34家心理健康诊所的负责人进行访谈,这些访谈是在全州范围内推广临床和业务创新的背景下进行的,旨在探讨诊所如何首次了解创新以及它们获取哪些外部信息来源。诊所负责人报告称,他们主要从政府机构、专业协会、同行组织和研究文献中获取有关创新的信息。负责人平均提到了两个外部信息来源。有证据表明,负责人获取信息的方式以及创新信息在诊所内部的传播方式存在差异。研究结果对改善心理健康系统中创新信息的传播具有启示意义。
