Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 15   EBP 2102 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Two Gaps in Translation

Captions available

The idea

The path from research to routine care is described as having two translation gaps — one between discovery and clinical research, and a second between clinical research and everyday practice.

In practice

A finding that reaches trials, and then stalls before reaching a ward.

Where people slip

Naming two gaps matters, because they have different causes. Closing the first does nothing for the second.
