Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
There is an urgent need for a knowledge translation strategy to facilitate the integration of genetics into family medicine, to improve the low knowledge base of most Canadian family physicians, ensure that the needs are met of those in the population who could benefit from genetic assessment, and facilitate evidence-based decision-making in the face of increasing patient demand. We have developed a multi-faceted intervention incorporating three distinct knowledge translation strategies: interactive educational sessions, a portfolio of tools for use in clinical practice and an innovative, efficient, information technology-based knowledge service designed to provide timely ("just-in-time") information which reflects both topical genetics issues and the pattern of users' queries (a so-called "push-pull" approach). We hypothesize that a multi-faceted knowledge translation intervention will improve the delivery of genetics services by family physicians.
