Abstract
“All systems and organization are faced with the challenge of implementing new practices at one time or another, yet many of the innovations that are initially successful fail to become part of the habits and routines of the host organizations and communities. Why do some take root and flourish while others languish?”( Wiltsey-Stirman, et al., 20121) The lack of progress for sustaining and spreading innovations in the health care system, including Health Literacy, are not sustained in the range from 33% to 70% of the times, as measured by a number of different organizational design methods.2
