Innovation and testing in general practitioners’ practice – the challenging path from idea to new practice by Tore Norendal Braathen, Toril Thorvaldsen Dale, Randi Brendbekken, Irene Øyeflaten

“…Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using systematic text condensation.Results Five categories of experiences were identified: 1) positive perceptions of ISIVET in terms of visualizing the complexity of health and work conditions, 2) procedures and collection of research data made it difficult to test the tool, 3) unclear ownership and anchoring, 4) difficulties with experimentation in demanding working days and 5) close follow-up during training followed by a lack of sharing experiences.Conclusions Despite positive GP perceptions of ISIVET in sick leave follow-up, the testing ‘failed’ due to difficulties during the testing overshadowing the benefits. …”
