Create and Sustain a Culture of Curiosity: A Case Study of a Home Healthcare Organization in Toronto

Sandra McKay, Emily King and Kathryn Nichol

Abstract

Increased integration in the healthcare sector requires traditionally non-research-based organizations to contribute to evidence-based decision making as equal partners. This requires a culture and infrastructure that support structured inquiry to improve best practice, quality and safety. We present the roadmap used by one home healthcare organization to create an embedded research unit to drive this transformation. The use of a relevant model and a framework provided structure to guide and sustain the process. We expect that the core strategies and combination of frameworks should be transferrable to others wishing to contribute meaningfully to evidence-based health system transformation.
