Further to an offline discussion, I was wondering if anyone was aware of knowledge translation being explicitly included in any country's health plans. Given that the preponderance of effort in this field has been led by John Lavis and colleagues at McMaster University, I suspect that Canada might - can anyone confirm/deny that? Does anyone know about knowledge translation being included in the health planning of any other country?
