Mixed method study examining role of evidence in decisions to introduce or diffuse innovations in health care, involving four interdependent streams of work:
1. rapid evidence synthesis of relevant literature followed by stakeholder feedback;
2. in-depth case studies of ‘real world’ decision-making in acute and primary care;
3. a national survey and discrete choice experiment to establish decision-makers’ preferences;
4. development of guidance for decision-makers and evaluators to support the use of evidence in decision-making
