JBI's Approach to Facilitating Knowledge Translation in Cardiovascular Care: JBI iGNITE Symposium

In the rapidly evolving field of cardiovascular health, the incorporation of evidence-based practices remains a significant challenge. Despite the availability of robust clinical research and guidelines, a gap persists between the best available evidence and its application in real-world clinical settings. This often stems from barriers such as difficulty accessing quality evidence and a general lack of awareness. Point-of-care resources emerge as crucial tools in bridging this gap, offering clinicians access to synthesized, easy-to-understand, and up-to-date evidence. Such resources not only aid in informed decision-making but also improve patient outcomes by keeping care aligned with best practices tailored to the local context.The JBI EBP Database Cardiovascular Field resources are created following a rigorous methodology, converting complex evidence into user-friendly formats. Active dissemination strategies, including social media promotion and face-to-face events, foster user engagement and knowledge translation. Our efforts contribute to the advancement of evidence-based cardiovascular care and the improvement of patient outcomes worldwide. Active Dissemination300+ evidence-based cardiovascular resources;4 evidence summaries used for quality improvement projects through the Evidence Implementation Training Program20+ new resources in 2023Expert Reference Group (ERG) with 12 cardiovascular experts Across 4 continentsDiverse professional backgrounds, including nurses, nurse practitioners, and medical officersPeer review, taxonomy development, gap analysis Systematic and transparent development process20,000+ impressions across our social media platforms during the two-week cardiovascular field campaignEvidence-based practice awareness posts featuring international cardiovascular expertsSelected free-access featured evidence-based cardiovascular resourcesThe JBI EBP Database is addressing this issue by collaborating with global experts to develop high-quality cardiovascular resources and promote awareness of evidence-based practices through active dissemination strategies.JBI CollaborationWe've provided a link detailing our global collaboration entities and their contact information: https://jbi.global/global-networks/collaboration.
