Bridging the evidence-to-practice gap requires translating medical research into accessible formats for healthcare practitioners. This improves patient care by speeding up the adoption of new clinical evidence.

Area of Science:

  • Health communication
  • Medical research dissemination
  • Clinical practice improvement

Background:

  • The evidence-to-practice gap delays the integration of medical research findings into clinical settings.
  • Practitioners struggle to access and comprehend the vast amount of published medical literature.
  • This delay impacts patient health outcomes due to slow adoption of new evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conceptualize the evidence-to-practice gap as a communication challenge.
  • To propose strategies for translating academic research into accessible messages for practitioners.
  • To outline a communication-based framework for summarizing research for clinicians.

Main Methods:

  • Framing the evidence-to-practice gap as a communication problem.
