About[edit | edit source]
Translation of knowledge to practice in health care is a significant challenge[1][2][3]. Clinicians want to provide evidence-informed management for their patients but many struggle with accessing, appraising and synthesising the vast array of literature available. Recent Knowledge Translation projects have lead to the development of decision aids synthesising the current evidence to guide clinical management of this patient population.
This Physical Therapy Knowledge Broker project was supported by the University of British Columbia (BC) Department of Physical Therapy, The Physiotherapy Association of BC, Vancouver Coastal Research Institute and the Providence Healthcare Research Institute.
Project Leads[edit | edit source]
It has been developed by a team of researchers, educators and expert clinicians that make up the BC Physical Therapy Tendinopathy Task Force, it includes:
Dr. Joseph Anthony Allison Ezzat Diana Hughes JR Justesen Dr. Alex Scott Michael Yates Alison Hoens
The Toolkit Process[edit | edit source]
The purpose of the toolkits is to:
- Describe current practice to confirm whether there is ‘a gap’ between current actual and desired evidence-based practice for PTs in BC.
- Determine the barriers to desired evidence-based practice from the perspective of the front-line public-practice PT.
- Map the barriers identified to categories identified by KT/implementation/behaviour change science.
- Use KT/implementation/behaviour change science and resources to identify targeted KT strategies to address the barriers.
- Develop/undertake, disseminate & support implementation of the targeted strategies.
- Re-evaluate practice post-implementation of the strategies.
