本文描述了形成性评估的4个阶段的重要性和作用，以加深我们对如何将研究成果落实到实践中以提高临床护理质量的理解。它审查了实施研究的传统方法的局限性，并提出了新思维和使用新方法的理由。然后定义了发展性、实施性、进展性和解释性评价，并用退伍军人卫生行政质量提高研究计划项目的例子加以说明。本文还提供了方法细节，并强调了在实施研究中实施形成性评估所遇到的挑战。
This article describes the importance and role of 4 stages of formative evaluation in our growing understanding of how to implement research findings into practice in order to improve the quality of clinical care. It reviews limitations of traditional approaches to implementation research and presents a rationale for new thinking and use of new methods. Developmental, implementation-focused, progress-focused, and interpretive evaluations are then defined and illustrated with examples from Veterans Health Administration Quality Enhancement Research Initiative projects. This article also provides methodologic details and highlights challenges encountered in actualizing formative evaluation within implementation research.
