Introduction In order for public health organizations to be successful, they first need to fully understand the definition of knowledge in its multiple dimensions. Understanding various relationships and factors related to knowledge-value chain will facilitate emergence of real changes in health care organizations. The concept of ‘evidence-based medicine’ has been a prevailing method in practicing medicine in the health care industry since its inception in the 1970s (Landry 2006). Four decades later, health care providers now encounter an immense volume of knowledge from research articles, new treatment guidelines, protocols, meta-analysis, or any other types of pertinent information to their specialties. However, providers often fail to maximize in utilization of all accessible data for lack of time or such an accelerated influx of newly available information. Knowledge translation ensues from this gap between what is known and what gets done (the know-do gap). Knowledge translation is not a simple process. It consists of multi-level interactive processes that depend on human beings and their context (Landry 2006). Methods This article uncovers various components associated with knowledge translation by dissecting the knowledge translation processes from multiple angles and aspects. The author starts the article by stating two important characteristics of knowledge and organization. The first would be related to the process of knowledge application and the second would be related to ‘aim of knowledge’, which helps creating value for organizations (Landry 597). Then, the author largely divides the rest of the article into 3 stages of knowledge-value chain in order to provide explanation of crucial elements involved in knowledge-va... ... middle of paper ... ...article. Had it been a research article and received a funding from a particular institution, it may potentially introduce a funding bias but it was not the case here. Conclusion This week’s article successfully delivered concepts involved in constructing a big picture by combining all the micro components associated with knowledge-translation in public health institutions from viewing them from various angles. There were many notable take-home points throughout this article. To conclude, this statement sums up the objective of the knowledge-value chain cogently, “Enhanced use of evidence contributes to achieving superior outcomes for the final beneficiaries of knowledge translation, which in return, generate value for money invested in knowledge and, through a feedback process, enhance learning and product and service innovation and development (Landry 2006)”.
