Beyond Knowledge Transfer: A Model of Knowledge Integration in a Clinical Setting

Current conceptualizations of knowledge transfer reinforce the notion of a linear process between researchers and clinicians, who are seen as operating separately with different agenda.

Description
Summary:Current conceptualizations of knowledge transfer reinforce the notion of a linear process between researchers and clinicians, who are seen as operating separately with different agenda. This paper uses a case study to illustrate a dynamic model of knowledge integration involving integrated and interdependent relationships among researchers, clinicians, and decision-makers. We believe the principles of this model are more likely to lead to effective use of research evidence in clinical practice. Les conceptualisations actuelles du transfert de la connaissance renforcent la notion d'un processus linéaire entre les chercheurs et les cliniciens, qui sont vus comme travaillant séparément avec un programme différent. Cet article utilise une étude de cas afin d'illustrer un modèle dynamique d'intégration des connaissances supposant des relations intégrées et interdépendantes entre les chercheurs, les cliniciens et les preneurs de décisions. Nous croyons que les principes de ce modèle conduiront plus vraisemblablement à une utilisation plus efficace des preuves de la recherche en pratique clinique.
