“…However, learning capabilities -based primarily on research capabilities -are the main driver for the identification and utilization of external new technologies and knowledge. Three main factors explain the critical role of researchers in technology adoption: first, researchers are more likely to be aware of the latest inventions or technological changes through research networks (Spangenberg et al, 1990;Escarce, 1996;Bobrowski, 2000;Cutler and Kadiyala, 2003;Estabrooks et al, 2008;Angst et al, 2010). Second, as well as being adopters, researchers are producers of knowledge likely to be shared with device suppliers in order to convert their ideas into innovations.…”

Despite the claim that technology has been one of the most important drivers of healthcare spending growth over the past decades, technology variables are rarely introduced explicitly in cost equations. Furthermore, technology is often considered exogenous.Using 1996-2007 panel data on Swiss geographical areas, we assessed the impact of technology availability on per capita healthcare costs covered by basic health insurance while controlling for the endogeneity of health technology availability variables. Our results suggest that medical research, patent intensity and the density of employees working in the medical device industry are influential factors for the adoption of technology and can be used as instruments for technology availability variables in the cost equation. Our results are similar to previous findings: CT and PET scanner adoption is associated with increased healthcare costs while increased availability of PTCA facilities is associated with reductions in per capita spending. Nevertheless, our results suggest that the magnitude of these relationships is much greater in absolute value than that suggested by previous studies which did not control for the possible endogeneity of the availability of technologies.

“…In this paradigm, known as Mode 2, knowledge production is interdisciplinary, participatory and typically has direct application to an identied problem [4]. Each mode of knowledge generation is associated with a di erent approach to KT [5].…”

“…End-of-grant KT [2,6], which is typically associated with Mode 1 knowledge production [5], is embedded within traditions of academic merit and promotion based on publications in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals and commercializable scienti c discoveries [2,5]. With end-of-grant KT, the researcher is the scienti c expert, and knowledge may take years to trickle down to end-users.…”

“…With end-of-grant KT, the researcher is the scienti c expert, and knowledge may take years to trickle down to end-users. Integrated KT [2,6] is more commonly associated with Mode 2 knowledge production [5]. It describes a way of conducting research that involves nonhierarchical collaboration between researchers and knowledge end-users for the formulation of health research questions and methodology and the interpretation and dissemination of results [6].…”

Within a dynamic health research environment with trends toward increasing accountability, governments and funding agencies have placed increased emphasis on knowledge translation (KT) as a way to optimize the impact of research investments on health outcomes, research products and health service delivery. As a result, there is an increasing need for familiarity with the principles of KT frameworks and components of KT strategies. Accordingly, health research trainees (graduate students and post-doctoral fellows) must be supported to enhance their capacity to understand KT principles and the practicalities of implementing e ective KT practices.In this paper, the unique opportunities and challenges that trainees within an interdisciplinary research team encounter when they begin to understand and apply constructive and relevant KT practices are considered. Our commentary is based on trainee experiences within the Preterm Birth and Healthy Outcomes Team (PreHOT), an interdisciplinary research team.

“…With growing awareness of the current situation, nursing scholars are debating the purpose and form of nursing scholarship in the 21 st century from a variety of perspectives (Estabrooks et al, 2008;Hurley & Taylor, 2011;Riley et al, 2002;Rolfe, 2012;Thompson & Watson, 2013;Thoun, 2009). These debates are focused on the often competing demands for resources vested in nursing research and for the development of knowledge to advance the discipline and the practice of nursing on the one hand and to support faculty to teach nursing students on the other.…”
