Apparently you were able to find the original English. I didn't have it until today. That doesn't solve the problem that I posed in my question. See what I wrote after the quote:
“If you would like to start tomorrow to change practice and implement evidence, prepare well: involve the relevant people; develop a proposal for change that is evidence based, feasible, and attractive; study the main difficulties in achieving the change, and select a set of strategies and measures at different levels linked to that problem; of course, within your budget and possibilities. Define indicators for measurement of success and monitor progress continuously or at regular intervals. And, finally, enjoy working on making patients’ care more effective, efficient, safe, and friendly” (1). At least that is the author’s message. I could not resist translating this passage freely to motivate readers to think about . . .
MV again: If I could, I'd delete the whole reference to the translation, because it's confusing for readers.

Now that you obtained the original English, inquiring minds want to know: what was it?

I have just now obtained the original English, and the Portuguese translation is entirely faithful to the original. So now I understand even less the part that that my question addresses. The translation is not abridged or sketchy; again, it is completely faithful.

I'd say the quotes do apply, for the translation appears to be a fairly accurate rendition of the original. The text is the entire last paragraph of the article. In that sense, the writer seems to be making a remark along the lines of 'not so much summary as proselytizing'. However, I'd say it's nothing if not ambiguous.
