Abstract:
Translating research evidence into daily practice is a challenging process at the organizational level. Conceptual models
about this process point to the importance of resources for change and environmental influences as two key factors that need
to be addressed in translation efforts. Two organizational case studies focused on improving care for adults with depression
are described that illustrate lessons about translating evidence to practice that may be helpful to others.
