In 2001, the Institute of Medicine concluded that the American healthcare system failed in translating new knowledge into practice and applying for new technological advances. The Institute of Medicine suggested that knowledge dissemination in healthcare systems may never reach clinicians or patients because the available tools and incentives do not promote rapid dissemination efforts that improve clinical outcomes. This article describes a practical strategy that can bring the benefits of medical science and technology to all healthcare systems in the US and abroad. This involves building the capacity of thousands of new nurse doctors to use social network analysis and work as bridge builders in healthcare systems.

护士作为桥梁建设者：通过知识传播推进护理

2001 年，医学研究所得出的结论是，美国的医疗保健系统未能将新知识转化为实践和应用新技术进步。医学研究所建议，医疗保健系统中的知识传播可能永远不会到达临床医生或患者，因为可用的工具和激励措施并不能促进改善临床结果的快速传播工作。本文描述了一种实用的策略，可以将医学科技的好处带给美国和国外的所有医疗保健系统。这涉及培养数千名新护士医生使用社交网络分析的能力，并在医疗保健系统中充当桥梁建设者。
