Research and Quality Dissemination Planning Tool
Explore the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Dissemination Planning Tool.
The tool is broken down into six parts:
Research findings and products—What is going to be
disseminated
End users—Who will apply it in practice
Dissemination partners—Individuals, organizations or
networks through which you can reach end users
Communication—How you convey the research outcomes
Evaluation—How you determine what worked
Dissemination work plan—Where you start
Review each section in preparation for this week’s
assignment.

Advances in Patient Safety: From Research to Implementation
This tool was developed to help researchers evaluate their research and develop appropriate dissemination plans, if the research is determined to have “real world” impact. Creation and testing of the tool is described in Development of a Planning Tool to Guide Research Dissemination.

Purpose
AHRQ is increasingly interested in research that has “real world” impact in the practice of health care. This tool will help you, the Patient Safety Researcher, develop a plan for disseminating your research findings and products to potential users in the health care system. This tool is designed to prompt your thinking about the processes that you would use to disseminate your findings or products, beyond publishing and presenting in peer-reviewed venues.
This tool will ask you to identify the aspects of your research that are ready for dissemination, and to think about who could benefit from your findings or products. It will also encourage you to consider various ways to reach these users—establishing direct links as well as working through intermediary organizations, or tapping into existing networks.
