Program objective -Knowledge brokers (KBs), like clinical librarians (CLs), are information professionals involved in the promotion of evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM). As with CLs, the impact of literatureevaluating KBs on the health sector is sparse, and there is limited consensus on their role. To provide guidance to information professionals and organizations regarding the KB role, this paper describes a typical "day in the life" of a KB in delivering a program to promote EIDM among Canadian public health professionals. Setting -The KB program was implemented in a randomized controlled trial evaluating knowledge transfer and exchange strategies. ParticipantsPublic health managers at various levels within Canadian public health units or regional health authorities. ProgramThe KB identified decision makers' (DMs) evidence needs; facilitated access to and use of high-quality evidence; assisted in decision making; and facilitated EIDM skill development. Results -The KB role, activities and related tasks, lessons learned, and challenges are described. Conclusion -Central themes included the importance of relationship development, ongoing support, customized approaches, and individual and organizational capacity development. The novelty of the KB role in public health provided a unique opportunity to assess the need for and reaction to the role and its associated activities. Robeson et al. 82

“…system-level components, such as the structural, infrastructural, regulatory, political and socio-historical context of the existing healthcare system, are largely absent (Berwick 2003;davis et al 2003;Graham et al 2006;Grol and Grimshaw 1999;Helfrich et al 2007;Jacobson et al 2003;Kitson et al 1998Kitson et al , 2008Lavis et al 2003;stetler 2003;Ward et al 2009), or recognized but given scant description (dobbins et al 2002;Greenhalgh et al 2004), in much of the theoretical work in the knowledge-to-practice literature. findings from this study demonstrated that certain features of the healthcare system -its delivery and support structure, IT infrastructure, policy environment and history of limited collaboration and weak working relationships across organizations -were problematic in the context of sRT implementation.…”

Background: The movement of new knowledge and tools into healthcare settings continues to be a slow, complex and poorly understood process. In this paper, we present the system-level factors important to the implementation of synoptic reporting tools in two initiatives (or cases) in Nova scotia, Canada. Methods: This study used case study methodology. data were collected through interviews with key informants, document analysis, non-participant observation and tool use/examination. Analysis involved production of case histories, analysis of each case and a cross-case analysis. Results: The healthcare system' s delivery and support structure, information technology infrastructure, policy environment and history of collaboration and inter-organizational relationships influenced tool implementation in the two cases. Conclusions:The findings provide an in-depth, nuanced understanding of how healthcare system components can influence the implementation of a new tool in clinical practice.
