Health interventions and practices often lag behind the available research, and the need for timely translation of new health knowledge into practice is becoming increasingly important.
The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic search and review of the literature on online knowledge translation techniques that foster the interaction between various stakeholders and assist in the sharing of ideas and knowledge within the health field.
The search strategy included all published literature in the English language since January 2003 and used the medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (cinahl), embase and Inspec databases.
The results of the review indicate that online strategies are diverse, yet all are applicable in facilitating online health-related knowledge translation. The method of knowledge sharing ranged from use of wikis, discussion forums, blogs, and social media to data/knowledge management tools, virtual communities of practice and conferencing technology - all of which can encourage online health communication and knowledge translation.
Online technologies are a key facilitator of health-related knowledge translation. This review of online strategies to facilitate health-related knowledge translation can inform the development and improvement of future strategies to expedite the translation of research to practice.
健康干预措施和实践往往落后于现有研究，及时将新的健康知识转化为实践的需求变得越来越重要。
本研究的目的是对有关在线知识转化技术的文献进行系统检索和综述，这些技术可促进各利益相关方之间的互动，并有助于在健康领域内分享想法和知识。
检索策略包括2003年1月以来所有以英文发表的文献，并使用了医学文献数据库、护理学与健康相关文献累积索引数据库（CINAHL）、Embase数据库和Inspec数据库。
综述结果表明，在线策略多种多样，但都适用于促进与健康相关的在线知识转化。知识共享的方式包括使用维基、讨论论坛、博客和社交媒体，以及数据/知识管理工具、虚拟实践社区和会议技术——所有这些都可以促进在线健康交流和知识转化。
在线技术是促进与健康相关的知识转化的关键因素。对促进与健康相关的知识转化的在线策略进行的这项综述可为未来加快研究向实践转化的策略的制定和改进提供参考。
