Next Steps - Pain Topic

• Package KT messages relating to pain for the parent organizations of KETF members
• Pick one other major "target audience" for pain KT message(s), such as:
  • Health care providers (i.e., through the Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Dental Association, Canadian Rheumatology Association, Canadian Physiotherapy Association or Canadian Arthritis Network)
• Assign a KETF working group to package info aimed at these groups
• Develop IMHA partnerships with these associations
• Develop a Broader Pain KT strategy for IMHA and Test it (that is, conduct research on KT methods and effectiveness)

A National Pain KT Strategy for IMHA Providers [cube 3]

The Next Step for KETF?

• Add another topic such as Physical Activity, Mobility and Health - possibly including the following activities:
• Data scan could be done - IMHA and CIHR
• Researchers could be identified
• Workshop in March 2006, possibly with KETF component, with focus on muscle/rehabilitation
• Develop CIHR Research Project (Community Alliance in Health Research - CAHR) in physical activity as it relates to pain management

Next KT Topic Within IMHA?

Other Possible Steps relating to KT:

• CIHR Trainees (Research Students) will be asked to report back to their training centres on KETF:

• On "KT definitions" and processes
• On Pain discussions and their relevance to Canadians

• "KT Training Module" Development by IMHA Training Centres:

• Students could lead and report back to KETF at next meeting

• IMHA will Launch CAHR in Pain, and consider another in Physical Activity barriers and benefits in June 2006
• IMHA will require all research teams applying for IMHA funding to include a KT plan in their grant application (target June 2006)
