  6. Knowledge Action Cycle

  7. Knowledge Creation Funnel Bottle Neck

  8. Complex adaptive system Individuals using simple rules, acting for their own reasonscreate an adaptive system. Components • Self organization • Emergence • Relationships • Feedback • Adaptability • Non-Linearity Interactions, relationships within the context of the network result in dynamic knowledge sharing. (Robeson, 2009)

  9. Opportunities for solutions • Knowledge translation takes too long. Especially creating knowledge tools • Resources are limited and jurisdictions tend to do the same sorts of things (duplication is bad) • Knowledge is leaving for the golf course

  10. Embrace the complexity Employ social technologies: • Connect all health professionals in Canada • No personal health data • Open and closed groups of all types • Multiple layers of security and veracity • Make it easy to join, easy to share Design for the six components of a complex adaptive system: Self organization Emergence Relationships Feedback Adaptability Non-Linearity

  11. Example

  12. Conclusion • Social technologies can help with knowledge translation in health. • Culture will take time to change, social technologies encourage sharing and trust • Critical mass matters, go big or go home.

  13. Shared platform Shared Benefits Efficiency and focus Interoperability Connectedness Shared knowledge Access Agility Shared Technology Common profile Standard xml Open development Governance – basic enablement and standards. National scope with connections
