本文探讨了采用技术创新并将其纳入医疗保健实践的方式。根据“实践领域”的概念，我们研究了如何在一组多层实践的空间和时间分配的重新配置上进行采用，从策略级别到单个动作的微观设置。经验背景是通过采用乳腺淋巴结测定（BLNA）的案例研究，这是一种用于治疗乳腺癌患者的诊断技术创新。我们的目的是为开发对采用和纳入常规实践的采用和融合的过程的更全面分析做出贡献。 （c）2015年由Elsevier Ltd.出版。
This paper explores the ways in which technological innovation becomes adopted and incorporated into healthcare practice. Drawing upon the notion of 'field of practices', we examine how adoption is subject to spatially and temporally distributed reconfigurations across a multi-level set of practices, ranging from the policy level to the micro-level setting of individual action. The empirical backdrop is provided by a case study of the adoption of Breast Lymph Node Assay (BLNA), a diagnostic technology innovation for the treatment of breast cancer patients. Our aim is to contribute to the development of a more comprehensive analysis of the processes surrounding the adoption and incorporation of complex healthcare technologies into routine practice.
