Consulting bridges the gap between academic research and decision-makers in health policy and services. This knowledge transfer strategy enhances research utilization and facilitates evidence-based policy development.

Area of Science:

  • Health Policy and Services Research
  • Knowledge Translation
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Academic researchers in health policy and services face challenges in transferring knowledge to decision-makers.
  • Traditional dissemination methods are often perceived as irrelevant or not useful by policymakers.
  • Effective knowledge transfer is crucial for evidence-informed decision-making in health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore consulting as a strategy for knowledge transfer between academic researchers and decision-makers in health policy and services.
  • To propose a model for knowledge transfer-focused consulting.
  • To identify factors that facilitate the use of knowledge by decision-makers.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis based on three case studies of consulting engagements.
