Abstract

The Surgical Services Division at a university hospital has created a patient delivery system that integrates the TQM values: continuous improvement, shared governance and staff empowerment. A divisional shared governance model includes specific roles for several councils: departmental shared governance, clinical practice, professional practice and systems. This model has promoted a proactive, monthly approach to quality assessment and improvement, compared to the traditional quarterly review.

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.
