Yet, despite the availability of information, managing healthcare-associated infections remains a challenge because the relevant explicit knowledge is not being adequately developed and mobilized as tacit knowledge for use "on the front lines". Some researchers have called for a human factors perspective to help address challenges in designing for infection prevention and  control, but relatively few studies have been conducted to date. Researchers also suggest that empirical inquiry is needed to better inform the design process, and particularly the design of complex systems where attention to detailed processes and interactions can support the success of an intervention. A human factors approach can help designers develop a deeper understanding of work processes, technology considerations, as well as physiological, psychological, cultural, and organizational factors. The need is particularly pressing in low-resource healthcare environments where funds, time, and human resources may be scarce and strategic design decisions based on evidence are needed to support meaningful and effective changes. With this in mind, a human factors study was conducted in an existing neonatal intensive care unit to identify the influence of product and environment design on infection prevention and control and to inform recommendations for improvement. In this case study, we illustrate how the application of an empirical, methodical approach can help design professionals and stakeholders develop tacit knowledge of complex systems – knowledge that can be used to better inform design priorities, the design process, decision making, and the allocation of resources to help maximize improvements.10adesign research10aergonomics10ahealthcare design10ahuman factors10ainfection prevention and control10aknowledge mobilization10aneonatal intensive care unit1 aTrudel, Chantal1 aCobb, Sue1 aMomtahan, Kathryn1 aBrintnell, Janet1 aMitchell, Ann  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/101700584nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245005500055210005200110260004200162300000800204490000600212653001100218653001500229653002700244653002600271653001300297653001300310100001800323856003700341       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aEditorial: Knowledge Mobilization (September 2016)0 aEditorial Knowledge Mobilization September 2016  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2016  a3-30 v610adesign10ahealthcare10aknowledge mobilization10aknowledge translation10aplanning10aresearch1 aMcPhee, Chris  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/101302664nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245010700055210006900162260004200231300001000273490000600283520183200289653002002121653001902141653002702160653002602187653002802213100001902241700002502260700002002285700001702305700001602322700002302338856003702361       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aImplementing Knowledge Translation Strategies in Funded Research in Canada and Australia: A Case Study0 aImplementing Knowledge Translation Strategies in Funded Research  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2016  a16-270 v63 aThere is an emerging literature describing the use of knowledge translation strategies to increase the relevance and usability of research, yet there are few real-world examples of how this works in practice. This case study reports on the steps taken to embed knowledge translation strategies in the Movember Foundation's Men’s Mental Health Grant Rounds in 2013–14, which were implemented in Australia and Canada, and on the support provided to the applicants in developing their knowledge translation plans. It identifies the challenges faced by the Men’s Mental Health Program Team and how these were resolved. The strategies explored include articulating knowledge translation requirements, ensuring a common understanding of knowledge translation, assessing knowledge translation plans, methods of engaging end users, and building capacity with applicants. An iterative approach to facilitating knowledge translation planning within project development was rolled out in Australia just prior to Canada so that lessons learned were immediately available to refine the second roll out. Implementation included the use of external knowledge translation expertise, the development of knowledge translation plans, and the need for internal infrastructure to support monitoring and reporting. Differences in the Australian and Canadian contexts may point to differential exposure to the concepts and practices of knowledge translation. This case study details an example of designing and implementing an integrated knowledge translation strategy that moves beyond traditional dissemination models. Lessons learned point to the importance of a long lead-up time, the use of knowledge translation expertise for capacity building, the need for flexible implementation, and the need for efficiencies in supporting applicants.10afunded research10aimplementation10aknowledge mobilization10aknowledge translation10aorganizational learning1 aMoore, Gabriel1 aFitzpatrick, Therese1 aLim-Carter, Ivy1 aHaynes, Abby1 aFlego, Anna1 aSnelgrove, Barbara  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/101601949nas a2200181   4500008004100000022001400041245006500055210006400120260004200184300001000226490000600236520140200242653002201644653002701666653001301693100002401706856003701730       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aMobilizing Knowledge: The Evidence Gap for Assistive Devices0 aMobilizing Knowledge The Evidence Gap for Assistive Devices  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2016  a39-450 v63 aKnowledge mobilization can be hindered in healthcare technology settings where the pace of change outpaces the ability to perform high-quality research methodologies that provide timely knowledge to enable informed prescription and technology application to the end user. Although well-controlled research with appropriate sample sizes is needed, this approach must be balanced with other evidence sources to address the knowledge immediacy requirements. Using carbon-fibre ankle–foot orthoses (i.e., lower-limb braces that improve stability, alignment, and foot-to-ground placement) as a case study, various sources of assistive device evidence were explored for their contribution to the continuum of knowledge in this area. A basic level of knowledge exists, but the quality is insufficient to inform the physical rehabilitation community on selecting from the almost 70 different devices on the market and the expected clinical outcomes for a target population. A combination of enhanced single-participant reports should be considered as an important part of the knowledge continuum and essential for knowledge immediacy. This approach must also be expanded to national and multinational database initiatives that provide a better base from which to extract knowledge on assistive device performance and mobilize this knowledge to provide optimal care for people with physical disabilities.10aassistive devices10aknowledge mobilization10aorthosis1 aLemaire, Edward, D.  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/101801568nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245008100055210006900136260004200205300000800247490000600255520093600261653001101197653002201208653002701230653001701257100002301274700002801297856003701325       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aPerspectives on Knowledge Mobilization: An Introduction to the Special Issue0 aPerspectives on Knowledge Mobilization An Introduction to the Sp  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2016  a4-80 v63 aIn this introduction to the Technology Innovation Management Review's special issue on Knowledge Mobilization, Guest Editors Kimberly Matheson and Cathy Malcolm Edwards share their different perspectives as an academic and a knowledge broker on the process of knowledge mobilization. Despite their distinctive points of entry into the knowledge mobilization field, they share a common perspective on the value of researchers and knowledge users learning from each other, working together to co-create solutions, and the importance of contributing back into the basic research and training of the next generation. They also provide the context of the authors' contributions to this special issue, noting that the articles are rooted in the authors’ experiences in the health domain, but that they help to understand some of the challenges and rewards of integrating knowledge mobilization into research approaches more generally. 10ahealth10ainterdisciplinary10aknowledge mobilization10apartnerships1 aMatheson, Kimberly1 aEdwards, Cathy, Malcolm  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/101401563nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245006400055210006300119260004200182300001000224490000600234520095200240653002301192653002701215653001801242653002001260653002001280100002001300856003701320       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aResearch on Fire: Lessons Learned in Knowledge Mobilization0 aResearch on Fire Lessons Learned in Knowledge Mobilization  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2016  a53-580 v63 aIn this article, I outline knowledge mobilization lessons learned while working on politically “hot button” issues in public policy research related to fire services. These lessons were shaped by the research funding context. Researchers are increasingly required to develop research relationships with government, industry, and community partners to ensure research is relevant to those who can best use it, to embed knowledge mobilization in research processes, to ensure that knowledge has an impact in the world beyond the academy, and to provide research funding. Perhaps not surprisingly, when my findings created challenges for research partners, controversies erupted, potentially imperiling my research program, career, and potential research impact. Drawing from my knowledge-mobilization experiences as well as those of other researchers, I offer some insights gained from mobilizing knowledge on a “hot topic” in public policy.10acatalytic validity10aknowledge mobilization10apublic policy10apublic services10aresearch values1 aBraedley, Susan  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/102001674nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245011000055210006900165260004200234300001000276490000600286520091100292653001501203653002501218653001701243653001101260653002701271653001001298653001701308100002101325700001801346700001901364856003701383       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aTransferable Practices for Knowledge Mobilization: Lessons from a Community-Engaged Health Research Study0 aTransferable Practices for Knowledge Mobilization Lessons from a  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2016  a46-520 v63 aCommunity-engaged health research can have both immediate and lasting impacts, yet is often plagued with various unknowns and unanticipated delays – this can be especially true in hospital settings with older adults. In this informal case study based on the authors’ collective experiences of an unraveling of the research process, the challenges and issues faced in assessing the health benefits of the “Music & Memory” iPod program in a complex continuing care hospital wing are discussed. Specifically, the lessons learned through the processes of acquiring ethical approval to work with a particularly vulnerable population, of effectively measuring the benefits of the program, and of the day-to-day logistical issues are recounted, with suggestions for overcoming these challenges through transferable practices for working with vulnerable or older adults and mobilizing the knowledge gained.10achallenges10acommunity engagement10acomplex care10ahealth10aknowledge mobilization10amusic10aolder adults1 aYsseldyk, Renate1 aParic, Angela1 aLuciani, Tracy  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1019
