When knowledge has been transformed into information that others have used in a practical way, whatever the setting, knowledge translation can be said to have occurred. Evaluation is a vital component of KT in that without an evaluation, how does anyone know if knowledge has been translated well?

The point of knowledge is to improve practices to enhance quality of life. To that end, it's up to each of us to acquire knowledge and figure out how to translate it. We will know that knowledge has been successfully translated when we see changes. Like these:

The objective of research is to change behaviours. While we're waiting for governments and institutions to change policies to bring about behaviour change, we can do much on our own.

Virtually everything that happens in the medical treatment process is grounded in empirical knowledge. That's the objective, at any rate. Moving research discoveries into the treatment centres is not a simple or quick process, as practitioners are discovering. I'll focus on some of the issues as "Treatment as KT" applies to mindful things.
