- We encourage individuals in any health-related discipline who are responsible for implementing change in any health care system/context/organization to apply.
- PKT is particularly beneficial when participants have an implementation project they are working on directly or indirectly.
- Implementation projects can be broadly defined or at any stage of development. Examples of previous projects applied during PKT include: preventing urinary tract infections in long-term care homes, improving how researchers engage patients in patient-oriented research, increasing hospital mobilization rates, implementing a data-tracking and monitoring system to reduce perinatal mortality in Ethiopia, increasing primary care guideline adherence, and changing organizational email practices.
