What strategies could be used in the (hospital/medical) workplace to increase the use of research findings?

Hospital: formularies and standard protocols.  Docs (especially old-school ones) do NOT like this at all because they think it's taking away their ability to practice medicine.  But when used as a strong suggestion or guideline, formularies and standard protocols can be helpful.  Most hospitals have standard protocols for at least some procedures/events (hip replacement surgery, MI with Integrilin, diabetic ketoacidosis are just 3 I can think of at the hospital I was at.)

Maybe you could read messages from family and friends to some of the patients. Also it might be fun to interview some of the staff. One tip for a boring guest is to get them off topic. Ask the accountant about the cafeteria food or ask the janitor what's new in the gift shop. If there's a pediatric department, bring in little kids and ask them to sing.

Maybe talk to your director about the low temperature reducing your productivity, and talk about getting a stand-up air con unit for around his work area, allowing you to turn the temperature up a bit on the main air con

Be creative in looking for work - if you have been given simple tasks with a spreadsheet, see if you can improve the flow of information or the analysis reported.  In other words, look for ways to improve anything that you have a part in or do more than is asked.  This typically involves understanding the process at a deeper level or by using (developing?) data analysis skills.\n\nView this as an opportunity to work like someone that you would want to hire.

it could be a job title?  \n\nor it could be to the type of research. \n\nor it could be that investigation/looking into something must meet a standard of quality. \n\ngood luck.

Find out the name of the Hospital where she works. You could pretend you were visiting some patient in the same ward where she is on duty.

By giving management better information on what is going on in the organization.  They may get better information on costs, or use of supplies, or length of stay broken down by disease, injury, ward, age, etc.  Inventory control is another possibility.  As an example:  how many defibrillators do you have?  Where are they located?  Who is trained to use them?  When were they last serviced?  Which one has been used the most, or the least?  Where have they been used?  If you have a location that has a lot of need, why not move the least used one there?  \n\nDepending on the design of the system, it might be able to answer any or all of these questions.

I am unsure what angle you are trying to define, but certainly consider the ethical rules of gathering data for your research.  I have also provided you with a couple of links to general definitions of research.

Of course, it is better to take some theory as background first, before investigation, for orderly analysis of things.\n\nYou have to ask questions to get a view who takes decisions, on what  they are based, what is the level of collaboration between workers and its type, how spread are non-conventional relations (present much in badly managed organisations), which is satisfaction of employees, how they perceive elements of organisation, etc. \n\nThe same questions in essence should be formulated differently for different people taking into account their position, education level, language used, also type of organisation - a thing suitable for hospital may be not suitable for trading company.\n\nAnd it is good to have several questions for testing the same.\n\nE.g. involvment into decision-making. \nYou may ask the employer and chief management: do they get feedback from employees, were opinions of employees useful, how often meetings are held. \nAnd questions of the same section for employees may look so: do management asks their opinion, do they feel that their feedback is used, do meetings are held too often/to rarely.

I would suggest you check with organizations like the American College of Healthcare Executives, the American Hospital Association, and the American Medical Association as a start

I would go to a modern hospital, and ask.  When you don't know something, ask people who work in that feild.

Research can be done using communication, i.e., surveys, polls, computers, websites, telephone calls, or face to face interaction.  These are all used in collecting data for research.

Put up a site called Yahoo! Answers. Award "points" to people when they write answers to questions. Sit back and wait while the brainwaves congeal...\n\nNow get back to work!

It has been a long time since working out of an office, but, in Family Practice, its always good to post information about childhood diseases and vaccinations, as well as information for the older bunch.\n\nMake a trip to an associates office and make some notes.  Don't go overboard out of the starting blocks, cause the drug reps will have all kinds of posters and such, that always looks good in the exam rooms.

It would be in the scientific literature.  try www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, and go to pubmed.  The literature is the primary means of communicating scientific advances, because it's peer-reviewed.  Its the major source of prestege for scientists, and is the source for further grant applications to extend studies.
