Knowledge translation to advance clinical care: A frontline health care perspective
Presented by Stephanie Glegg, Occupational Therapist & Knowledge Broker, Sunny Hill Centre for Children; PhD Candidate in Rehabilitation Sciences, University of British Columbia
One of the key aims of knowledge translation (KT) efforts is to support the application of evidence to improve health services. This uptake requires clinically-relevant evidence that is accessible and applicable, processes in place to adapt the evidence to the local context, a means of assessing barriers and facilitators of change, and infrastructure to support implementation, evaluation and sustainability.
This webinar will bring you inside the frontline health care experience through the use of preliminary research findings that describe the range of KT involvement by health professionals. Challenges that exist and the supports that are required to facilitate KT in clinical settings will be discussed.
An overview of KT initiatives at Sunny Hill Health Centre will provide a glimpse into various strategies used to engage clinical stakeholders in KT and evidence informed health care at our site.
