Hansson K. & Irwin R. 2020. Movement of knowledge: Medical humanities perspectives on medicine, science, and experience.
This chapter explores the potential of using ethnographic methods to support medical personnel who are in the process of replacing existing practice with a new research-based care practice—in other words, when a new evidence-based care model is operationalized. The method presented here centres on offering support to the member of the medical team who facilitates the actual implementation—the so-called facilitator—so that the team can better understand the processes at work. The purpose is to highlight how ethnographic methods can make the facilitator’s task of driving the implementation easier.
