Knowledge Translation - Highlighted Project
Knowledge Translation at the Point-of-Care Project (KTaP)
The Interprofessional Research Collaborative (IPRC), formed in 2012, consists of health professionals from B.C. Children's Hospital, B.C. Women's Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, Provincial Health Services Authority, and the College of Health Disciplines at UBC.
The overarching theme guiding the work of the IPRC is Accelerating the Benefits of Interprofessional Collaboration. The overall goal is to develop and demonstrate effective approaches to elevate interprofessional collaboration and teamwork in partnership with infants, children, youth, women and their families (patients) and practitioners at the point of care. The shared aim is better outcomes for patients and service providers in specialized care settings.
The IPRC is currently completing a project titled Advancing Interprofessional Collaboration with Patients and Families: Knowledge Translation at the Point-of-Care (KTaP). Grant funding from the Michael Smith Health Services Research Foundation allowed the IPRC to create a series of iterative workshops to address identified ICP needs using evidence-informed Knowledge Translation (KT) strategies. Representatives from six clinical teams, including patient or family member partners, were recruited. Results and final reports are in progress.
