AB  - This article describes the contribution of a Transition Support Office (TSO) in a 
      health care center in Canada to supporting changes in practice based on evidence 
      and organizational performance in the early phase of a major organizational 
      change. Semistructured individual interviews were conducted with 11 members of 
      the TSO and 13 managers and clinicians from an ambulatory sector in the 
      organization who received support from the TSO. The main themes addressed in the 
      interviews were the description of the TSO, the context of implementation, and 
      the impact. Using the Competing Value Framework by Quinn and Rohrbaugh [Public 
      Product Rev. 1981;5(2):122-140], results revealed that the TSO is a source of 
      expertise that facilitates innovation and implementation of change. It provides 
      material support and human expertise for evidence-based projects. As a single 
      organizational entity responsible for managing change, it gives a sense of 
      cohesiveness. It also facilitates communication among human resources of the 
      entire organization. The TSO is seen as an expertise provider that promotes 
      competency development, training, and evidence-based practices. The impact of a 
      TSO on change in practices and organizational performance in a health care system 
      is discussed.
