Abstract

A series presenting Wndings from a systematic search of the literature on a speciWc topic and offering quantitative or qualitative analysis of these Wndings. Abstract Purpose. When introducing innovations to health care, it is important to gain insight into determinants that may facilitate or impede the introduction, in order to design an appropriate strategy for introducing the innovation. To obtain an overview of determinants of innovations in health care organizations, we carried out a literature review and a Delphi study. The Delphi study was intended to achieve consensus among a group of implementation experts on determinants identiWed from the literature review. Data sources. We searched 11 databases for articles published between 1990 and 2000. The keywords varied according to the speciWc database. We also searched for free text. Forty-four implementation experts (implementation researchers, programme managers, and implementation consultants/advisors) participated in the Delphi study.
