Abstract

When senior executives at Grant and Riverside Methodist Hospitals in Columbus, OH, decided to merge their institutions into one healthcare system, the two security forces suddenly were faced with the need for major changes. The directors of the two security departments decided to work together to plot a successful integration strategy and to protect the security staff in the bargain. By involving staff in organization decisions, they made integration easier.

How can we increase translation of research into practice? Types of evidence needed.

This review summarizes key factors that have interfered with translation of research to practice and what public health researchers can do to hasten such transfer, focusing on characteristics of interventions, target settings, and research designs. The need to address context and to utilize research, review, and reporting practices that address external validity issues-such as designs that focus on replication, and practical clinical and behavioral trials-are emphasized. Although there has been increased emphasis on social-ecological interventions that go beyond the individual level, interventions often address each component as if it were an independent intervention. Greater attention is needed to connectedness across program levels and components. Finally, examples are provided of evaluation models and current programs that can help accelerate translation of research to practice and policy.
