MSPH Seminar 21-Oct-09: Lost in knowledge translation – A Canadian perspective

10.00-11.00am, Wed 21st Oct 2009
Seminar Room 515, Level 5, 207 Bouverie Street, Carlton

Associate Professor Sharon Straus, Director, Knowledge Translation Program, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St Michael’s Hospital & The University of Toronto

Much of the $100 billion/year worldwide investment in biomedical and health research is wasted because of challenges to knowledge translation (KT) that remain understudied. Despite significant investment in and substantive productivity of biomedical, clinical, health services and population health research, consistent evidence shows that health systems fail to optimally use evidence with resulting inefficiencies, reduced quality of life for Canadians and lost productivity. KT research and enhanced capacity in this field are essential if we are to reap the benefits of health research, improve the health and quality of life of Canadians and enhance productivity.
