Identify the different levels of translational research. Explain how translational research is
different from evidence-based practice and discuss application to population health management.
Translational research is a term that refers to the process of turning fundamental research findings into
practical applications that improve human health and patient well-being (Khoury, et al., 2018). There are
many degrees of translational research, including fundamental to clinical, clinical to population, and
population to clinical. The changes from basic to population-based, patient-oriented to population-
based, and basic to population-based are all represented by both levels.
Evidence-based practice is the
actual application of evidence in practice.
Although evidence-based healthcare is becoming more
popular throughout the world, it is still complex, misunderstood, and often derided. It has an impact on
healthcare practice across the board, regardless of the sort of evidence accessible to practitioners such
as: numerical, qualitative, or anecdotal, or the focus, feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness, or
efficacy (Khoury, et al., 2018).
Whereas translation research is the study of how treatments are
implemented, as well as the characteristics and contextual variables that influence knowledge uptake
and use in practices and communities (Khoury, et al., 2018).
The health of entire populations is critical to
the progress of medical care and research, in which it plays a role in improving clinical treatment of
groups, resulting in improved patient outcomes and cheaper service delivery costs. Chronic care
management (CCM) for diabetic patients with problems and a transportation system for patients who
skip appointments owing to a lack of transportation are two areas where population health is used.
