Public and professional concern about health care quality, safety and efficiency is growing. Continuing education, knowledge translation, patient safety and quality improvement have made concerted efforts to address these issues. However, a coordinated and integrated effort across these domains is lacking. This article explores and discusses the similarities and differences amongst the four domains in relation to their missions, stakeholders, methods, and limitations. This paper highlights the potential for a more integrated and collaborative partnership to promote networking and information sharing amongst the four domains. This potential rests on the premise that an integrated approach may result in the development and implementation of more holistic and effective interdisciplinary interventions. In conclusion, an outline of current research that is informed by the preliminary findings in this paper is also briefly discussed. The research concerns a comprehensive mapping of the relationships between the domains to gain an understanding of potential dissonances between how the domains represent themselves, their work and the work of their 'partner' domains.
公众和专业人士对医疗保健质量、安全和效率的关注日益增加。继续教育、知识转化、患者安全和质量改进都在共同努力解决这些问题。然而，这些领域之间缺乏协调和综合的努力。本文探讨并讨论了这四个领域在使命、利益相关者、方法和局限性方面的异同。本文强调了通过更紧密的合作关系，促进四个领域之间的网络和信息共享的潜力。这种潜力的前提是，综合方法可能会导致更全面和有效的跨学科干预措施的制定和实施。总之，还简要讨论了本文件初步研究结果所依据的当前研究概述。该研究全面描绘了这些领域之间的关系，以了解这些领域如何代表自己、他们的工作以及“合作伙伴”领域的工作之间可能存在的差异。
