Abstract

Former Hospitals & Health Networks executive editor Mark Hagland and Health Facilities Management editor Kurt Luchs and associate editor Catherine Quayle recently hosted a roundtable discussion on design and construction issues in health care. They wanted to know what health care senior executives and experts in the design and construction field thought about today's most pressing issues and biggest trends. Hagland and Luchs assembled a group or experts and executives in Chicago and set the tape rolling. Here are excerpts from the discussion.

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.
