This paper explores our efforts to support the expansion of a regional electronic consultation (eConsult) service on a national level by addressing potential policy barriers. We used an integrated knowledge translation (IKT) strategy based on five key activities leading to a National eConsult Policy Think Tank meeting: (1) identifying potential policy enablers and barriers; (2) engaging national and provincial/territorial partners; (3) including patient voices; (4) undertaking co-design and planning; and (5) adopting a solution-based approach. We successfully leveraged a diverse set of stakeholders in strategic discussions, culminating in actionable suggestions for next steps, which will serve to inform a national implementation strategy.
本文探讨了我们通过应对潜在政策障碍来支持在全国范围内扩大区域电子咨询（eConsult）服务的努力。我们采用了一种基于五项关键活动的综合知识转化（IKT）策略，这些活动促成了一次全国电子咨询政策智囊团会议：（1）识别潜在的政策推动者和障碍；（2）与国家和省/地区合作伙伴合作；（3）纳入患者意见；（4）进行共同设计和规划；（5）采用基于解决方案的方法。我们在战略讨论中成功地利用了各种各样的利益相关者，最终形成了关于下一步行动的可操作建议，这将为全国实施战略提供参考。
