      Objective:

      Significant delays in translating healthcare-related research into public health programs and medical practice mean that people may not get the best care when they need it. Regarding cardiovascular disease, translation delays can mean lives may be unnecessarily lost each year. To facilitate the translation of knowledge to action, we created a Best Practices Guide for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Programs.

      Design:

      Using the Rapid Synthesis Translation Process and Best Practices Framework as guiding frameworks, we collected and rated research evidence for hypertension control and cholesterol management strategies. After identifying best practices, we gathered information about programs that were implementing the practices, and resources useful for implementation. Research evidence and supplementary information were consolidated in an informational resource and published online. Web metrics were collected and analyzed to measure use and reach of the guide.

      Results:

      The Best Practices Guide was released in January 2018 and included background information and resources on eight best practice strategies. It was published as an online resource, publicly accessible from the CDC website in two different formats. Web metrics show that in the first year after publication, there were 25,589 webpage views and 2,467 downloads. A query of partner use of the guide indicated that it was often shared in partners’ own resources, newsletters, and online material.

      Conclusion:

      In following a systematic approach to creating the Best Practices Guide and documenting the steps taken in its development, we offer a replicable approach for translating research on health care practices into a resource to facilitate implementation. The success of this approach is attributed to three key factors: using a prescribed and documented approach to evidence translation, working closely with stakeholders throughout the process, and prioritizing the content design and accessibility of the final product.
