Morris and Martens (2009: p. 277). A metaphor pointing limitations of approaches caused by applying isolated techniques at mapping a scientific research field. 

The above paper contains an illustrated metaphorical picture of the state of affairs…

The above paper is more direct, but the ancient picture itself, no matter what it’s modern guise, illustrates a fundamental human limitation. 

I imagine the main barrier is not knowing what we don’t know.

Barriers possible represent an absence or something, such as the category of the ill-defined.

Here we invariably fall prey to our form-survival depends upon isolating the object from its background, and we like all creatures are constrained by her senses which provides us with three dimensions and time. N-dimensional structures require Modelling that holds constant anything greater than a cartoon in order for it to even begin to visualize process interactions for our understanding.... so....

Here, as with all gone who have before me, presently I fall short of the phenomenon which I try to describe - Possibly therapeutic space into which practice takes shape and into which all comers bring their own set of assumptions, beliefs, superstitions, etc.

In the checklist I noticed “organizational readiness for change” as a category. My organization, greater than the sum of its parts, appears to have an independent existence wherein it seeks to perpetuate it’s form unchanged... 

For example, at a recent big data talk, unlike the keynote speaker from the WHO, one of the conference leaders had no time to view the pedagogical event horizon, a three line illustration an item not included in the published agenda. 

Best of luck!

Hi Catherine,

thanks, this tool is one i keep coming back to - although im looking for something specific to barriers rather than implementation planning. 

kind regards,

Hi Craig

This isn’t specifically about barriers but I used the Theoretical Domains Framework ( Michie et al, 2005)  to provide a systematic approach to explore determinants of practice. 

Kind regards

Dear All,

 

Im looking for frameworks that identify and classify barriers to practice in a way that is similar to how the EPOC (or other) taxonomies classify implementation strategies.  Im about to start a pubmed search, and would really welcome your feedback/input on any known taxonomies/frameworks.

 

Thanks all,
