Abstract
Effective health services rely on a foundation of research-based evidence. While quality care improvements are dependent on the application of evidence, incorporating them into practice may be challenging. This article presents the results of a study of the diffusion of a complex evidence-based innovation initiated by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

It is concluded that organized inpatient stroke unit care probably benefits a wide range of stroke patients in a variety of different ways, ie, reducing death from secondary complications of stroke and reducing the need for institutional care through a reduction in disability.

There were significant savings in hospitalization cost for patients with acute stroke after introduction of a treatment protocol, and these savings were almost entirely related to decreased length of stay.

Because managed care plans are exerting enormous pressure to reduce the cost of medical care, neurologists need to enhance their skills at identifying appropriate, high-quality, and cost-effective care for patients with neurological disorders.
