DESCRIPTION: Patients often do not benefit as much as they should from research findings and evidence-based practice guidelines. Efforts to implement best practices are confronted by numerous barriers at all levels of the system. Dr. Pierson identifies and describes these barriers along with examples. He discusses the challenges faced by knowledge translation, the process of integrating the different components of the healthcare system to overcome these barriers, with the goals of maximum patient benefit, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Professor is David Pierson, MD FAARC.
