KT Tool | Goal of tool | Barrier | Knowledge-to-Action phase18 | Potential uses—clinical | Potential uses—education |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CSM 2019 Educational Session | • Increase familiarity with and understanding of CPG and KT tools | Knowledge | • Adapt knowledge | • N/A | • N/A |
Recommended Standardized Administration of the Core Measures | • Decrease variability in measure administration • Improve clinical utility • Provide additional guidance for administration in vague testing conditions | Knowledge | • Knowledge creation-knowledge tools | • Individual clinicians can utilize to improve personal administration and reduce variability • Practices can utilize to reduce variability across clinicians and sites | • Provide to students for reference when in clinical education • Provide students with strategies to become agents of change when participating in clinical education |
Quick Reference for Rehabilitation Professionals | • Create a quick reference guide that provides key information for each action statement in the CPG | Knowledge | • Knowledge creation-knowledge tools | • Supplement to CPG education efforts • Post in common areas for reference | • N/A |
Quick Guide for Administration of all Measures | • Provide a 1-page focused reference sheet with key information on the standardized administration protocols | Knowledge, time | • Knowledge creation-knowledge tools | • Access standardized protocols on one page and keep for quick reference (e.g.: clipboards, carts, desks, workstations) • Post in common areas for reference | • Provide to students for reference when in clinical education • Provide students with strategies to become agents of change when participating in clinical education and as future clinicians |
Pocket Cards for Interpretation of Core Measure Scores | • Short reference guide for each measure that provides key values for interpreting the score of the measures and standardized administration | Knowledge, time, interpretation of scores | • Knowledge creation-knowledge tools | • Quick reference for interpreting and using scores obtained with core measures • Documentation anchored in published clinical values • Support clinical decision-making and recommendations • Post in common areas for reference | • Provide to students for reference when in clinical education • Provide students with strategies to become agents of change when participating in clinical education and as future clinicians |
Environmental Set Up for Core Measures | • Addresses the barrier of measures taking increased time and space to complete • Provides a variety of examples across settings to set up measures • Includes one comprehensive equipment list for all core measures | Time, space | • Tailored interventions | • Set up clinical space and equipment to support the 6 core measures • Gather all necessary equipment for the measures into one area/space | • Set up lab spaces for practicing standardized administration of measures • Provide students with strategies to become agents of change when participating in clinical education and as future clinicians |
ANPT Synapse Center Online Courses | • Create sustainable, open-access education that is active in nature and addresses the CPG action statements as well as the standardized protocols • Interactive courses that allow for self-assessment and standardization of core measures | Knowledge | • Adapt knowledge | • Utilize for clinical competencies • New hire training and education • Obtain CEUs | • Supplemental or asynchronous standardized education |
Knowledge Translation Report Card (a Simplified Version was published in Fall 2021) | • Create a tool to support the action statements for shared decision-making • Increase the patient’s value of the outcome measures | Value, interpretation of scores | • Tailored interventions | • Utilize for patient engagement and shared decision-making • Patients can track change over time | • Educate students about patient engagement and shared decision-making • Educate students on key interpretation values for the measures • Educate students on communication with patients |
