Abstract

The Expert Panel Nurse Staffing and Resource Management Method is a bold new approach for the identification of nurse staffing requirements and the management of resources. Expert panels comprised of those most knowledgeable of the patient population and the uniqueness of specific patient care areas identify staff needed to meet clinical, administrative, education, continuous quality improvement, and research needs. In addition, the expert panels explore opportunities for systems improvements, work redesign, and administrative restructuring within the context of budgetary realities.

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.
