Clinicians and health service managers have long been held responsible not only for delivering high quality care but also for continuously improving it. When the latter proves to be challenging which is the case for most of the time – it is tempting to frame the problem as one of a failure of professionalism or managerialism. But rectifying deeply embedded deficiencies in the ways that care is organised and delivered, and in clinical and experiential outcomes for patients, is not an easy task. Too often efforts to improve care do not work or are only partially successful, resources are wasted, the unintended consequences of improvement interventions are ignored and the enthusiasm of practitioners is dissipated. In recent decades attempts to meet these challenges have led to a growing interest in the role that research can play in guiding improvement activities, and in the concept of Evidence Informed Improvement [1].
