relevant to each area of practice to keep up to date with relevant published research and develop evidence-base practice. However, it was noted that the resources within each research round-up were not searchable in retrospect, thus limiting the potential of using the resource in practice. Furthermore, due to the increasing popularity and volume of professional research works shared on social media, there was a demand for a more frequent research resource. Purpose and objectives It is acknowledged that knowledge translation of research into practice to support patient care is complex, requiring a multitude of factors at individual, team, and organisational level. For the speech-language pathologist working in busy clinical environments, a new research resource needed to meet the requirements of a local SLP department regarding clinical relevancy to areas of practice, and to provide access that was quick, searchable, electronic, editable, and updatable, and also had the potential for collaborative responsibility to encourage and support clinicians to engage with research at individual and team levels and to develop a team of EBP-conscious professionals (Whitworth To create a “living”, interactive, searchable, and electronic repository of research relevant to the local SLP team’s areas of practice. A service development initiative The Collective Clinical Research Resource (CCRR) is an electronic repository of research resources created by a local SLP clinical-academic researcher. The electronic repository was created on the Microsoft program OneNote. OneNote is described as a digital note-taking application, divided into sections and pages with easy navigation and a search tool. Notebooks which are created on the program et al., 2012). Objective
OneNote can be shared and allows colleagues to collaboratively create and add to the resource. In addition, OneNote allows interactive features such as the insertion of media items, photos, videos, files, annotations, and drawings within the Notebook, allowing the resource to be dynamic and flexible. The CCRR OneNote Notebook is divided into a directory of sections, section-groups, subgroups, subsections, and pages, as illustrated in Figure 1. Sections The first section of the CCRR is the “Monthly Research Round-up Newsletter” which contains a collection of recent peer-reviewed research publication titles and URL links selected by the SLP clinical-academic and determined by the direct relevancy to local clinical practice and services. Journal alerts have been created with 6 peer-reviewed journals related to dysphagia, communication, and voice disorders in SLP as well as clinical areas in stroke, critical care, and ENT. The organisation’s library service further facilitates the identification of articles with established searches and alerts in databases including CINAHL, EMBASE and AMED, for recent articles published in the fields of dysphagia, aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia, and dysphonia. Other international sources include peer- reviewed and quality assessed evidence from monthly speechBITE updates and ASHA Evidence Maps. Clinically relevant publications shared via social media channels are also considered where appropriate. Publication titles selected are then categorised into clinical areas of practice and are updated by the SLP clinical-academic on a monthly basis, thus creating a “living” repository of recent and relevant research. Within this section is a page named “Deposit Box” where other SLP colleagues can contribute to the newsletter in the following month by entering the paper title and URL of the research resource they wish to share.
