Abstract

This paper uses a published case study to illustrate the practical application of a translational model for the implementation of evidence into practice. The paper examines a translational approach to moving knowledge from robust methods for systematic review into guidance for clinical practice, and then in to action followed by evaluation of its impact on practice and health care outcomes. The conceptual model for evidence-based health care reported in this paper provides the theoretic framework for practice change.

Keywords: Evidence-based practice; Implementation science; Joanna Briggs Institute; Knowledge to action; Translation science.
