Abstract:
In an era of evidence-based
healthcare, health and social care
professionals are increasingly required
to rely on robust evidence to inform
their decision-making, not only
regarding their clinical practice, but
also in the organisation and delivery of
their services. While the generation
and use of clinical evidence has long
been part of the work of healthcare
professionals, clinical practitioners are
often not as familiar with the use of
organisational research evidence as
compared with the use of clinical
evidence (Vella et al., 2000), or with
conducting research themselves to
address service priorities (McHugh &
Byrne, 2011). This article aims to help
professionals identify the most
appropriate research designs in
tackling different types of
organisational issues in health and
social care.
