Abstract

The introduction of Executive Information Systems (EIS) to the health-care industry has brought confusion over the relationship between EIS and Decision Support Systems (DSS). This article describes how EIS is distinguished from DSS by its technical origins, the ways decision-makers use both systems, and the process of building and using EIS and DSS. As hospitals become more adept at using the features which EIS technology offers, the inherent differences between EIS and DSS will become even more apparent.

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.
