Adaptation of best practices in patient safety to fit local contexts

Adaption of knowledge to the local context is fundamental in health care practices.
Usage of best evidence in clinical practices is key in enhancing quality health care aspects.
Guidelines and other best practices have adopted and applied in health care practices to
enhance service delivery. High-quality guidelines have often been seen as necessary tools,
they are sufficient tools to incorporate patient safety to fit local contexts. The guideline
provides a plethora of actions, there is a need to enhance the adaption of these guidelines to
fit the local contextual situations. Customization of the aspects of the clinical practice into the
local contextual environment is essential for improving patient safety practices (Ogrinc et al.,
2015).
In nursing practice, adapting high-quality guidelines for local contextual usage is key in
reducing effort duplication and enhancing overall applicability. In some of the cases,
customizing guideline to be used in local contexts have often eroded the quality of care,
however, there is a need for a more participatory approach which ensures quality adherences.
Existing guidelines can be customized and applied to fit local situation through active
systematic and an inclusive approach. This cycle enhances the integrity of the evidence-based
practices being used. Local adaptation of guidelines offers an avenue for specific health
needs, priorities and resources available (Hoffmann et al., 2014).
Scientific evidence implementation has focused on the extent at which treatments and
service delivery models are implemented in the local context and taken up by clinicians.
Research has demonstrated that treatments and delivery models are often undertaken by
clinicians and other health care staffs. Often the fidelity of original improvement is
challenging to establish and to sustain effectively. Three fundamental issues have been of
focus; the complexity of a new better way. Simple changes are simpler and effective to
initiate such as those requiring more than one change of professional services. Another key
aspect is the structure and the strategy to implement. Actions program are often used to
appropriate facilitation and training in other resources to facilitation work organization.
Lastly is the context of care practices which needs to change. In this case, if the health care
leaders do not see an improvement to be a priority then the take is likely to be low (Maharaj ,
Raffaele & Wendon, 2015).
A key example of how best practices are fitted on the local context involve hospital
rapid response teams-RRTs or medical emergency teams. This proves how and the effect of
how local projects adapt to improvement changes. Research undertaken in the 1980s began to
