title: How does "knowledge translation" affect my clinical practice?
abstract: Knowledge translation is emerging as an increasingly important area of research and practice aiming to remedy the disconnection between evidence-based clinical care and real-life practice. The discipline is informed by a large body of literature and practical tools, which can inform providers and leaders in health care. Front-line clinicians should be aware of the principles of knowledge translation and the evidence that defines successful and suboptimal strategies for introducing evidence-based care at the system level.
