PY - 2012 T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine AB - A major aim of evidence-based medicine is to protect patients from ineffective or harmful treatments while ensuring that appropriate treatments are offered. In an ideal world, once a treatment is rigorously evaluated, results are incorporated into clinical guidelines which, in turn, inform health care delivery policies. However, the process that leads to effective sustainable solutions to health problems is in fact nonlinear, and different forms of evidence are needed at different stages by different parties. Knowledge translation is a complex and multidimensional concept that demands a comprehensive understanding of its mechanisms, methods, and measurements, as well as of its influencing factors at the individual and contextual levels—and the interaction between both those levels.
