Ho Kendall, Jarvis-Selinger S. et al. (eds.) Technology Enabled Knowledge Translation for eHealth: Principles and Practice

Springer, 2012. — 436 p. — (Healthcare Delivery in the Information Age). — ISBN: 978-1-4614-3494-8.Rapid progress in health research has led to generation of new knowledge and innovative practices in management of illness. This has resulted in a significant challenge for health professionals: if today we discovered a new therapy through research, when will this discovery be regularly prescribed or utilized to treat all patients suffering from this condition? Knowledge translation is the non-linear and often complicated process of translating knowledge into routine health practices. Technology enabled knowledge translation (TEKT) is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to accelerate knowledge translation. With the ubiquity of the internet, the proliferation of different approaches in communication and social networking, and the continuously improving technologies from netbooks to smartphones, there are rich opportunities for TEKT in health education, service delivery, and research.Technology in Education
