Other than a name on the end page and one-page dog eared, this is a tight and unmarked copy-" From the Back Cover: Health care systems worldwide are faced with the challenge of improving the quality of care. Providing evidence from health research is necessary but not sufficient for the provision of optimal care and so knowledge translation (KT), the scientific study of methods for closing the knowledge-to-action gap and of the barriers and facilitators inherent in the process, is gaining significance. Knowledge Translation in Health Care explains how to use research findings to improve health care in real-life, everyday situations. The authors define and describe knowledge translation, and outline strategies for successful knowledge translation in practice and policymaking. The book is full of examples of how knowledge translation models work in closing the gap between evidence and action. Written by a team of authors closely involved in the development of knowledge translation this unique book aims to extend understanding and implementation worldwide. It is an introductory guide to an emerging hot topic in evidence-based care and essential for health policymakers, researchers, managers, clinicians, and trainees.".…
