The study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices and interventions into routine health care and public health settings, to improve our impact on population health.
Evidence-based practice: Making healthcare or public health decisions using the best available research evidence, together with professional expertise and the needs and preferences of the people affected.
Knowledge translation: The process of making sure research findings are shared, understood and used by the people who can apply them, including health professionals, policy makers, researchers and the community.
Health services research: Research that looks at how healthcare is organised, delivered and improved. It can help identify better ways to provide care, reduce gaps and improve outcomes.
