In emergency medical services (EMS), like other areas of healthcare, a substantial knowledge-to-action gap exists between the results of research and widespread use in clinical practice. This paper reports on a national workshop held to develop a process for creating National EMS Evidence-Informed Clinical Guidelines in an attempt to improve knowledge translation. We discuss the lessons learned from the workshop and next steps in developing the guidelines. This process and its lessons are generalizable to other areas of healthcare seeking to develop evidence-based guidelines. National EMS Evidence-Informed Guidelines will likely be a meaningful knowledge translation activity for Canadian EMS.
在紧急医疗服务(EMS)领域,与医疗保健的其他领域一样,研究结果与在临床实践中的广泛应用之间存在着巨大的知识转化差距。本文报告了一次全国性研讨会,该研讨会旨在制定一套流程,以创建国家EMS循证临床指南,从而努力改善知识转化。我们讨论了从研讨会上吸取的经验教训以及制定指南的后续步骤。这一流程及其经验教训可推广至其他寻求制定循证指南的医疗保健领域。国家EMS循证指南可能会成为加拿大EMS一项有意义的知识转化活动。
