But still

Knowledge needs to be managed much

more effectively than it has been in

the past

“Evidence Base” Community

• “The purchase of treatments and services that have been scientifically confirmed to improve outcomes.” (Lehman et al, 2004)

“Evidence Base” Community

• Evidence mapping• Mining the Research• Missing Pieces: Identifying the Gaps in

Evidence

“Evidence Base” Community

• engaging patients in research• working with guideline developers• Reporting and discussing practice guidelines• Podcasting as a Dissemination Strategy• funding for Knowledge Translation and

Dissemination

Moving Methodology Forward

• prognostic evidence in systematic reviews of interventions

There’s Nothing Constant but Change

Steps For Evidence Base Community Implementation

Information sharing with decision Makers

Organization preparation & Fund raising

Clinical Care ImprovementTraining on EBP’s, supervision, consultation and support

Engagement Strategic planFocus on outcomes that clients value.

Feedback :Efficiency & Effectiveness

Elements Important (Fixsen et al, 2005)

• Commitment of leadership to the implementation process.

• “unfreezing” current organizational practices.• Resources for extra costs, effort, materials, recruiting,

access to expertise, retraining.
