Development of the Implementation Framework of Integrative Chinese Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline

Abstract

As an important guidance of medical practice, clinical practice guideline of integrative Chinese medicine (ICM-CPG) plays an extremely important role in showing the respective advantages of Chinese and Western medicine and in promoting the integrated Chinese and Western medicine. However, the research status on ICM-CPG is faced with the problem of emphasizing development but neglecting implementation. The establishment of ICM-CPG implementation model based on the theoretical framework of implementation science is conducive to promoting the implementation of ICM-CPG and advancing the integration and development of Chinese and Western medicine. In this paper, by sorting out and analyzing the knowledge to action (KTA) framework, we discuss the implementation framework development of ICM-CPG in order to provide reference for future research.
