Innovation or rebranding, acute care surgery diffusion will continue.
The researchers conducted a qualitative study comprising face-to-face interviews with senior surgeons responsible for acute care surgery (ACS) at 18 teaching hospitals chosen to ensure diversity of opinions and practice environment. Their analysis suggests that the implementation of ACS, whether a true health care delivery innovation or an innovative rebranding, fits into the Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory.

The evolution of knowledge exchanges enabling successful practice change in two intensive care units.
There are gaps in understanding the mechanisms by which top-down communications enable practice change. The authors sought to address these gaps in order to help identify evidence-based management strategies for successful practice change at the unit level. They found that both intensive care units studied experienced substantially improved outcomes and indicated a statistically significant increase in proactive communications. Early in the study, champions emerged within each unit to initiate process improvements. The authors concluded that the study helped to identify evidence-based management strategies for successful practice change at the unit level.
