The in-between world of knowledge brokering
material. The written description of the interventions had 715 words. Our diagram (fig 3) shows immediately the cumulative nature of the experimental interventions.
Balancing rigour and relevance
English We investigated researchers’ experiences of, and views on, interacting with policy makers, using children’s mental health as an example. Qualitative methods were used to interview university researchers, policy researchers, and research funders. Participants spoke of contributions to policy that went beyond interaction with policy makers. We describe how participants became motivated, developed approaches, and created new environments to …
Square Pegs in Round Holes
In May 2003 all university faculties of medicine, health sciences, nursing, business, and public administration in Canada were surveyed to document whether their promotion practices gave equal treatment to researchers with traditional disciplinary-based scholarly outputs versus those with nontraditional outputs flowing from an applied interest in interdisciplinary research, collaboration with nonacademics, and knowledge transfer. Forty-seven dean…
Deliberative processes and evidence-informed decision making in healthcare
English Evidence-informed decisions are conjectured to be better than un-evidenced ones. Evidence is classified into three types: context-free scientific, context-sensitive scientific and colloquial. A deliberative process provides guidance informed by relevant scientific evidence, interpreted in a relevant context wherever possible with context-sensitive scientific evidence and, where not, by the best available colloquial evidence. Some characte…

Social capital and health
Moving rocks
In 1993, Prince Edward Island introduced block‐funding to five Health and Community Services regional boards for all human services except education. We view this as the introduction of a financial incentive (or removal of a disincentive) to undertake cross‐sectoral reallocations to address the broader determinants of health. We use case‐study methods to evaluate the way in which this incentive was communicated from policy makers to the regions, …
When tinkering is not enough
Prompted by fiscal deficits and guided by recommendations of provincial review commissions, a number of provinces are restructuring their health care systems to iniprove resource management. British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have published comprehensive plans for health care reforms. The plans reveal a diversity of management approaches, including devolved structures in British Columbia, Saskatchewan…
Evaluating the Message
To explore the relationship between providers' compliance and some key aspects of the clinical messages in practice guidelines, studies published in the English language medical literature between 1980 and 1991 were retrieved through MEDLINE and through relevant review articles in the field. All published studies providing compliance rates with practice guidelines and endorsed by official organizations were eligible for the study. The clinical co…

Regionalization of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) has been regionalized in the province of Ontario since the introduction of the procedure in the 1970s. The authors examined the effect of regionalization on the age-adjusted surgery rates in the 38 counties of southern Ontario and found that county surgical rates were not related to whether the county had a referral center, bordered on a county with a referral center, or did not border on such a county (R2 = …
Physician-Manpower Planning
Patient Versus Clinician Item Generation for Quality-of-Life Measures
Using nominal group process to develop a measure of quality of life, two groups of aphasic patients and a group of rehabilitation clinicians generated separate lists of important functional communication situations. Comparison of the lists by raters who were blind to their source revealed that the two patient lists were more similar to each other than were either of the patient lists to the clinician list; clinicians underestimate the patients' f…
