Innovation implementation in the context of hospital QI: lessons learned and strategies for success.
This paper conducts an integrative review of the literature on "innovation implementation" in hospitals and health systems over the last decade, since the spotlight was cast on "innovation implementation failure" in health care organizations (HCOs). It summarizes the lessons learned from the literature, discusses the relevance of management research on innovation implementation in HCOs, and identifies future research avenues.

Using social knowledge networking technology to enable meaningful use of electronic health record technology in hospitals and health systems.
In this paper, Rangachari (1) reviewed the theoretical literatures on technology use & implementation, and identified a framework for understanding & overcoming unintended adverse consequences of implementing Electronic Health Records; (2) outlined a broad project proposal to test the applicability of the framework in enabling "meaningful use" of Electronic Health Records in a healthcare context; and (3) identified strategies for successful implementation of Electronic Health Records in hospitals & health systems, based on the literature review and application.

Towards symbiosis in knowledge representation and natural language processing for structuring clinical practice guidelines.
This vision paper discusses the value and feasibility of supporting symbiosis in text-based knowledge acquisition (KA) and knowledge representation (KR). It concludes that KA for KR should be made explicit, scalable, elastic, iterative, and “just expressive enough” to allow NLP-assisted knowledge engineering and increase the facility by which clinical practice guidelines are translated from research into practice.
