Dissemination and Knowledge Translation in Professional Virtual Communities

描述（由申请人提供）：卫生服务提供者未能将基于证据的指导方针和资源转化为实践，这是改善卫生结果的一个显著障碍。GHDonline是一个由哈佛大学全球卫生服务项目开发的在线协作平台，它将创建与卫生服务提供中的几个关键挑战相关的专业虚拟社区（pvc）。这些室性早搏将加快临床知识、工具和指南的传播。GHDonline建议使AHRQ、医学研究所、Cochrane协作和美国预防服务工作组收集和编目的及时、相关和关键——但同时也是详细、技术性和复杂的——信息更容易为那些与服务不足的人群一起工作和提供护理的人所获取。在三年的资助期内，GHDonline提出了五个具体目标：在GHDonline上建立6个与向服务不足的美国人口提供护理直接相关的新的pvc 2。招募10,000名新成员加入这些新社区，在现有网络的基础上建立来自2,100个组织和159个国家的近7,000名成员。雇用并培训12名新的专家版主来管理社区。围绕AHRQ和其他机构制定的循证指南组织至少36次结构化虚拟讨论（专家小组）。采用Kirkpatrick评价模型，比较会员参加PVCs前后对循证医学的理解和应用情况

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The failure of health providers to translate evidence-based guidelines and resources into practice is a salient barrier to improving health outcomes. GHDonline, an online collaboration platform developed by the Global Health Delivery Project at Harvard, will create Professional Virtual Communities (PVCs) related to several key challenges in health care delivery. These PVCs will enable faster dissemination of clinical knowledge, tools, and guidelines. GHDonline proposes to make the timely, relevant, and critical-but also detailed, technical, and complex- information collected and catalogued by the AHRQ, the Institute of Medicine, the Cochrane Collaboration, and the US Preventive Services Task Force, more accessible to those working with and providing care to underserved populations. During the three-year funding period, GHDonline proposes five specific aims: 1. Establish six new PVCs on GHDonline relating directly to the delivery of care of underserved US populations 2. Recruit 10,000 new members to participate in these new communities, building off an existing network of nearly 7,000 members from 2,100 organizations and 159 countries 3. Hire and train 12 new expert moderators to manage the communities 4. Organize at least 36 structured virtual discussions (Expert Panels) around evidence-based guidelines developed by AHRQ and others 5. Compare members' understanding and application of evidence-based medicine before and after participation in the PVCs, using the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model
