From Accessing to Applying Knowledge in NHS Scotland Knowing 66 libraries 116 library staff 12 million+ resources Doing How much of this gets used in a meaningful way to improve safe, effective, person-centred care?
Knowledge into Action review • help practitioners to applyknowledge to frontline practice. • embed use of knowledge in healthcare improvement. • support practitioners and managers to translate knowledge into better health outcomes, i.e. safe, effective, person-centred, efficient care.
Knowledge as process Practice • Know-where • Systems • Processes • Variation • Know-how: • Actionable • Relational • Organisational Research • Know-what • Journals • MEDLINE • Cochrane Experience • Know-who • Service user • Practitioner • Teams
Knowledge as process • Relational use of knowledge • Communities of Practice • Social networking • Social learning • Know-how: • Actionable • Relational • Organisational • Actionable knowledge • Checklists • Pathways • Mobile apps • Organisational enablers • Knowledge broker • Building workforce capabilities • Tests of change to demonstrate impact • Sourcing and combining • different types of knowledge
Discussion How do you find, use and combine different types of knowledge in your practice? Know-what Know-where Know-who Know-how
Example – Sepsis Sourcing and presenting ‘know what’ and ‘know where’ in an actionable format to inform the ‘know how’ Sharing experience and knowledge via a community of practice Providing actionable, mobile solutions to make it easy to do the right thing
Example – pressure ulcers Shared experience Tools and bundles to support implementation What does best practice look like? http://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org/our_work/patient_safety/tissue_viability.aspx
