Description
Summary:Explorations of workflow development within primary care allow us to understand initial steps in the pace of knowledge and practice acclimatization within clinics.

This study engaged eight health care organizations, including 55 primary care practices, ≈380 clinicians, and ≈620 nursing and support staff in a guideline implementation project regarding United States Preventive Services Task Force use of aspirin recommendations for primary prevention of cardiovascular events.
