Abstract

After 17 years, the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network has demonstrated its significant contribution to the care of acutely ill and injured children through the successful completion of more than 35 research studies. Despite the importance of research findings and the numerous publications in medical journals, the information is not easily accessible by parents, families, or nonresearch medical providers. Another group of investigators has developed knowledge translation and dissemination using social media through the Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids knowledge mobilization network. This model is an example for other networks and outlines the challenges of dissemination of findings. The network’s research is widely published and has been incorporated into national guidelines, but the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network’s next challenge is translation of network findings into practice so every child who seeks emergency care in the United States in large or small emergency departments can be treated with evidence-based medicine.
