Funded Activity Summary

Over the last decade there has been a significant move toward evidence based clinical care and clinical guidelines in medical care. Despite this movement there are numerous clinical situations where evidence for any treatment is scant and where large gaps between the evidence and current practice exist. My research seeks to explore the barriers that exist in the health system that impede the uptake of evidence into practice and methods to improve patient outcomes where the evidence is poor.
