Health practitioners move evidence into real life care
Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI) supports health improvements and innovation through its Knowledge Translation Challenge. This competition challenges health practitioners to translate research discoveries and evidence into everyday practice to improve patient care. The challenge brings together practitioners who do not have knowledge translation experience with researchers who provide knowledge translation mentorship and resources. The Knowledge Translation Challenge facilitates innovative research projects with direct application to advances in patient care.
These projects are made possible through a Providence Health Care & Vancouver Coastal Health Knowledge Translations Grant, funded by the Robert H.N. Ho Enhancing Patient Care Fund.
