Research and guiding evidence within rehabilitation medicine has grown significantly over the past decades, yet many in the field continue to rely on more historical or traditional methods during patient care. According to Morris et al, it can take up to 17 years or more for research evidence to make its way into clinical care. Why is our healthcare system so far behind? What processes are missing the mark? This symposium has been developed to provide background information, education, and a review of research that exemplifies the state of evidence-based practice within rehabilitation medicine. Presenters will then provide applicable and practical information with guidance towards a better utilization of knowledge translation (KT) strategies within organizations to help leaders actively facilitate what evidence based practice could or maybe should look like.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the current challenges in the United States health care model that limits the use of evidence based practice
Appreciate vision and background of the Moving Forward paper in PT practice to improve outcomes and patient experience
Appreciate the Knowledge to Action Framework and its role to assist in implementing practice change
Understand the Knowledge Translation framework in order to promote best practice
