| Annotation | An intermediary is needed for research findings to influence health services' delivery of care effectively. Neither universities nor the health service provide much incentive for ongoing connections between researchers and clinicians, managers or policy makers. More formal recognition is needed for the interpersonal role of knowledge brokering in connecting the research and decision-making process. Knowledge brokering uses a portfolio of resources to make health services research and decision-making more accessible to each other. Initial experience in Canada suggests that adopting a knowledge brokering approach improves the culture for evidence-informed decision making. (RH). |
