• Resumen

  • To address the vast gap between current knowledge and practice in the area of dissemination and implementation research, we address terminology, provide examples of successful applications of this research, discuss key sources of support, and highlight directions and opportunities for future advances. There is a need for research testing approaches to scaling up and sustaining effective interventions, and we propose that further advances in the field will be achieved by focusing dissemination and implementation research on 5 core values: rigor and relevance, efficiency, collaboration, improved capacity, and cumulative knowledge. (Am J Public Health. 2012;102:1274-1281.) Despite the demonstrable benefits of many new medical discoveries, we have done a surprisingly poor job of putting research findings into practice. The ultimate goal of new discoveries is to enhance human health, yet most discoveries are slow to or never fulfill this promise. The challenge of moving health research innovations from discovery to practice is complex and mul- tifaceted.[1] For example, in clinical practice, modern medications that dissolve blood clots are one of the best illustrations of efficacious medical care.[2] Nevertheless, substantial portions of the population who could benefit from these medicines do not receive them.
