Abstract

Selecting a computer system for a dental office is a complicated process and the author recommends that this be preceded by a careful practice analysis. Examples of the practicality of computerization are typified in several examples and many common pre-purchase suggestions and guidelines are provided. The need for staff involvement and adequate product review prior to purchase is discussed.

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.
