Abstract
Knowledge translation is the means for evidence-based practice in healthcare, which is the overarching goal for better quality of care and patient/client safety, for reducing expenses in the health system, and for enhancing patient, provider and system outcomes. Informatics is the essential resources for making research findings (an element/component of evidence) accessible to healthcare professionals and for supporting knowledge utilization activities at the point of care. The value of available evidence within the clinical practice environment is a fundamental tool for implementing evidence-based practice.
