Starry Aims to Overcome Knowledge Translation Inertia: The Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI) Guidelines

Abstract

In 2007, Academic Emergency Medicine hosted a Consensus Conference on "Knowledge Translation in Emergency Medicine" with the objective of identifying high-yield research priorities for the concept of moving from evidence to action.¹ Patients often fail to receive care that aligns with quality indicators, and the Institute of Medicine has estimated that on average 17 years pass before just 14% of effective interventions reach the bedside.^2-4 Equally important is the concept that de-implementing wasteful, inefficient, or outdated clinical approaches frequently require more time and effort than is available, so the trajectory of bedside decision-making often yields to the status quo.⁵
