“…Structures were needed that could enable grant recipients to share new knowledge produced by the funded projects, and to contribute to the developing understanding of and capacity for knowledge translation. Similar issues have been identified by others (Househ et al, 2011;Kothari et al, 2014;Wathen et al, 2011).…”

“…The first one is the spatial distance between decision makers and the electronic communication facilities that enable them to communicate with each other. In the clinical setting, it is not uncommon for a clinical case to be treated by a medical team whose members are from different healthcare institutions, so the development of a virtual environment that enables the communication between them may be an advantage to the discussion of guideline recommendations, as shown in previous works with successful knowledge exchanges (Anogianakis et al 1998;Househ et al 2011). The type of environment influences the goals of decision makers.…”

Clinical Practice Guidelines in paper format are still the preferred form of delivery of medical knowledge and recommendations to healthcare professionals. Their current support and development process have well identified limitations to which the healthcare community has been continuously searching solutions. Artificial Intelligence may create the conditions and provide the tools to address many, if not all, of these limitations.. This paper presents a comprehensive and up to date review of Computer-Interpretable Guideline approaches, namely Arden Syntax, GLIF, PROforma, Asbru, GLARE and SAGE. It also provides an assessment of how well these approaches respond to the challenges posed by paper-based guidelines and addresses topics of Artificial Intelligence that could provide a solution to the shortcomings of clinical guidelines. Among the topics addressed by this paper are Expert Systems, Case-Based Reasoning, Medical Ontologies and Reasoning under Uncertainty, with a special focus on methodologies for assessing Quality of Information when managing incomplete information. Finally, an analysis is made of the fundamental requirements of a guideline model and the importance that standard terminologies and models for clinical data have in the semantic and syntactic interoperability between a 1 Corresponding author 2 guideline execution engine and the software tools used in clinical settings. It is also proposed a line of research that includes the development of an ontology for Clinical Practice Guidelines and a decision model for a guideline-based Expert System that manages non-compliance with clinical guidelines and uncertainty

Background: Health interventions and practices often lag behind the available research, and the need for timely translation of new health knowledge into practice is becoming increasingly important. Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic search and review of the literature on online knowledge translation techniques that foster the interaction between various stakeholders and assist in the sharing of ideas and knowledge within the health field. Methods: The search strategy included all published literature in the English language since January 2003 and used the MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE and Inspec databases. Results:The results of the review indicate that online strategies are diverse, yet all are applicable in facilitating online health-related knowledge translation. The method of knowledge sharing ranged from use of wikis, discussion forums, blogs, and social media to data/knowledge management tools, virtual communities of practice and conferencing technology -all of which can encourage online health communication and knowledge translation. Conclusions: Online technologies are a key facilitator of health-related knowledge translation. This review of online strategies to facilitate health-related knowledge translation can inform the development and improvement of future strategies to expedite the translation of research to practice.Keywords: Health services research, Internet, knowledge management, knowledge transfer, review and systematic search Key Messages• Online strategies for health-related knowledge translation can act as vehicles to link researchers, practitioners, policymakers and consumers, thus facilitating the timely and relevant exchange of information, including where gaps in knowledge exist.• Information and communication technologies are a pragmatic and timely means to selectively transfer valuable research to policy makers, healthcare providers, the public and other stakeholders.• Information and communication technologies, particularly the Internet, have also produced knowledge translation challenges including access to and user knowledge of online technologies.• Through online technologies, it is possible for stakeholders to share knowledge regardless of geographical constraints, thus encouraging the advancement of knowledge in health and subsequent translation to practice.• Virtual communities of practice are an effective and pragmatic way for health professionals, the general public and other key stakeholders to interact and share knowledge.
