Attention to collaborative approaches to encouraging evidence use in healthcare practice are gaining traction. The inherent complexities in collaborative and networked approaches to knowledge translation (KT) have been embraced by Kitson and colleagues in their complexity network model. In this commentary, the potential of complexity as presented by Kitson et al within their model is considered. The utility of such a model will be contingent upon how easy users find it to understand and apply to their challenge, and doing so in a way that is useful to not only help with explanation, but also with prediction.
关注鼓励在医疗保健实践中使用证据的协作方法正受到关注。Kitson 及其同事在其复杂网络模型中接受了知识转化(KT)的协作和网络方法所固有的复杂性。在这篇评论中,考虑了 Kitson 等人在其模型中提出的复杂性的潜力。该模型的实用性将取决于用户理解和应用该模型以解决其挑战的难易程度,并且以不仅有助于解释而且有助于预测的方式来应用该模型。
