New information system can lend competitive edge.

Abstract

Information technology provides more than just the means to collect data on best practices and outcomes. It can also give your facility an edge in competing for managed care contracts. Good data systems facilitate communication across the continuum of care and drastically reduce the time and labor needed to gather data and make outcomes comparisons. Managers from quality control, utilization, and other areas tasked with data monitoring should have input into designing and buying information systems.

How can we increase translation of research into practice? Types of evidence needed.

This review summarizes key factors that have interfered with translation of research to practice and what public health researchers can do to hasten such transfer, focusing on characteristics of interventions, target settings, and research designs. The need to address context and to utilize research, review, and reporting practices that address external validity issues-such as designs that focus on replication, and practical clinical and behavioral trials-are emphasized. Although there has been increased emphasis on social-ecological interventions that go beyond the individual level, interventions often address each component as if it were an independent intervention. Greater attention is needed to connectedness across program levels and components. Finally, examples are provided of evaluation models and current programs that can help accelerate translation of research to practice and policy.
