Clinical Opportunity Identification
Evidence Synthesis
Evidence-informed Decision Making
Implementation and Evaluation
12
Clinical Opportunity Identification
Evidence Synthesis
Frequent Users of Emergency Medical Services
Complex High Needs Users
Rapid Reviews: Patient Profiles, Case Management
Lack of: clarity, clear intervention, coordination with other
efforts or agencies, cost benefits
13
Clinical Opportunity Identification
Evidence Synthesis
Edmonton Inner City Health Research & Education Network
Multi-disciplinary Case Management for inner-city persons
Evidence: existing RR, update SR, new RR
Next Steps: Funding, Implementation and Evaluation
14
Evidence Synthesis
Policy
Diabetic Foot Care Pathway
How do we prevent, identify, and treat diabetic foot ulcers?
PICO (wound care, orthopaedics, contact casting)
Policy Implications: uninsured services
Barrier: clinical independence, comfort with orthopaedics, fear
of policy process
15
Evidence Synthesis
Policy
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder
ECT: invasive (safety, access), stigmatized (acceptability)
Promising evidence but unanswered questions on optimal use
Next Steps: Policy, Implementation, Evaluation
Barriers: Time Frame
16
Bariatric Surgery
HTA: treatments for obesity, surgery 5-10 year outcomes
Current provision of service 0.5%.
Barriers: funding, OR management, surgeon support / late
engagement, HTA didn’t answer clinical optimization questions
Next Steps: Surgery SCN, answer optimization questions
Evidence-informed Decision Making
Implementation and Evaluation
17
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery
Evidence-based CPGs.
Barriers: resistance to practice change (e.g. anaesthesiology)
KT: Leadership Support, Clinical Champions, Clinical
Informatics, Targeted Training Programs, Robust Evaluation
Next Steps: Scale Up, Test Implementation Strategies
Evidence-informed Decision Making
Implementation and Evaluation

Lessons Learned
Stakeholders must be engaged from the public to the front
lines to universities to the Minister
19
Lessons Learned
Translation is continuous and iterative: Clinical Need ->
Research Question(s) -> Policy Implications -> Operational
Options -> Clinical Need
20
Lessons Learned
Problems require a lot of definition before solutions are
sought
If I had one hour to save the
world I would spend fifty-five
minutes defining the problem
and only five minutes finding
the solution.
21
Lessons Learned
Funding frameworks tend to drive the conceptualization of
problems (from Dens to HTR to PRIHS)
22
Lessons Learned
Time Matters – evidence is often sought too late in the
process, more structured planning is required, clinical time
and policy time are out of sync
23
Lessons Learned
Consideration of policy options should include clinical
experts, research experts, and the persons who will be tasked
with implementing directives
24
Lessons Learned
Knowledge Translation and change management is hard
work. Change does not happen by emailing CPGs or issuing
directives.
