Can we implement knowledge in less than 17 years?
Knowledge translation (KT) is defined as “a dynamic and iterative process that includes synthesis,
dissemination, exchange and ethically-sound application of knowledge to improve the health of
[the population], provide more effective health services and products and strengthen the health
care system.”1 Importantly, KT requires the dissemination of research evidence and its use in
clinical practice. Research studies indicate that the translation of research findings into clinical
practice can take 17 years or more. This KT conference will provide stakeholders of rehabilitation
in Norway with an introduction to KT, processes that support KT, and practical examples of
successful KT projects.
Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop,
each participant will be able to:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Can we implement knowledge in less than 17 years?

June 21-22, 2016
The Process to Implement Knowledge in Practice
Description: Knowledge translation (KT) requires not only the dissemination of research evidence, but
also its actual use in clinical practice. Research studies indicate that the translation of research findings
into clinical practice can take 17 years or more. Successful KT requires a coordinated effort among many
stakeholders in healthcare and an understanding of existing barriers to KT. This workshop will provide
managers and clinicians with knowledge about KT, a process that can be used to implement knowledge,
and actions that may facilitate KT. Workshop attendees will participate in didactic training and group work
to develop a knowledge translation plan to implement an evidence-based practice into clinical practice.
Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, each participant will be able to:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Define knowledge translation
Describe the Knowledge-to-Action Framework
Explain his or her role as a leader or facilitator of knowledge translation.
Apply the Knowledge-to-Action Framework to a knowledge translation project at his
or her clinical site.
Who should attend?
Healthcare professionals who actively involved in KT projects or plan to be involved in the near future.
The attendees may include hospital administrators, scientists, physical therapists, occupational therapists,
speech language pathologists, physicians, nurses, and psychologists.
Pre-work assignment: Each attendee should submit a description of a Knowledge Translation project he/
she is currently doing or plans to do in the next 6 months. The template for the project description is
attached.

Ian Graham, PhD
Dr. Ian Graham is Senior Scientist in the Clinical Epidemiology Program of the Ottawa Hospital Research
Institute and Professor in the department of Epidemiology & Community Medicine, of the University of
Ottawa. He is an adjunct associate professor in the School of Nursing at Queen’s University, Kingston,

where he held the position of Vice-President of the Knowledge Translation and Public Outreach. Dr.
Graham obtained a Ph.D. in medical sociology from McGill University. His research focuses on
knowledge translation (the process of research use) and conducting applied research on strategies to
increase implementation of evidence-informed practice. He has published over 250 peer reviewed
articles and is co-editor of Knowledge Translation in Health Care (2009) and Evaluating the Impact of
Implementing Evidence-based Practice (2010). Ian was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee
Medal for his “leadership contributions to CIHR and for changing the way research knowledge is used
and demonstrating to funding agencies around the world how to move knowledge into action.”
