Shifting healthcare to evidence-based practices can enhance quality and create a more
eAective, eAicient, dependable, and equitable patient-centered care system (Leming-Lee &
Watters, 2019). To bring about real-world change, the following stakeholders are essential
for achieving successful outcomes and supporting the overall health of cancer patients
and their families.
From the patients who are survivors sharing their experiences to help others on their
pathway to recovery. Care providers play a key role in survivors’ lives, oAering emotional,
financial, and physical support. Healthcare providers such as nurses, case managers,
physicians, and pharmacists play a vital role in improving care initiatives by managing signs
and symptoms, screening patients, prescribing and dispensing medications, and providing
psychological and psychosocial support. Based on the knowledge-to-action framework,
these stakeholders identify challenges, barriers, and facilitators to care, and oAer solutions
to improve outcomes by adopting best practices. Policymakers, along with federal, local,
and state health authorities, regulate screening programs, monitor cancer incidence, and
run public awareness campaigns, supported by federal funding and state policies (Allen et
al., 2023).
Public health organizations shape clinical standards and policies, including groups
focused on gynecological cancer and broader cancer organizations such as the American
Society of Clinical Oncology. Their mission is to enhance care delivery by leveraging their
infrastructure to define value, measure costs, and embed value assessment into cancer
research and treatments (Allen et al., 2023). Torres et al. (2023) suggest that the action
cycle of the KTA framework can intentionally and systematically influence organizational
change by guiding the distribution of crucial resources to inform healthcare policies
through rigorous evidence synthesis.
Researchers collect data from geographic locations using technology to aid analysis. This
includes electronic health records (EHRs) for data collection, which help identify disease
trends and provide real-time views of medical history, diagnoses, medications,
demographics, and allergies, thus facilitating coordination and informed decision-making.
The evidence collected is integrated into knowledge tools that support clinical pathways
and practice (Torres et al., 2023).
The Knowledge-To-Action (KTA) framework promotes knowledge sharing and learning by
helping clinicians and stakeholders understand the reasons behind organizational changes
and how to translate knowledge into practice through a structured process (Boutcher et al.,
2022). This involves conducting gap analyses, identifying barriers and enablers, selecting
appropriate interventions to improve adaptation, and using eAective communication
channels for dissemination (Ten Ham-Baloyi, 2022).
Building strong relationships with stakeholders is essential for demonstrating the project’s
benefits and securing full support, which enhances coordination, collaboration, and
teamwork. This, in turn, fosters interactions aimed at identifying solutions and the best
strategic approaches to cancer care. Nonetheless, challenges to stakeholder buy-in
include resistance to change, knowledge gaps, time constraints, poor data quality,
ineAective communication, access issues, cultural diAerences, limited resources for
research implementation, infrastructure deficiencies, policy constraints, and ongoing
stakeholder engagement issues in research translation (Ayoubian et al., 2020; Ten Ham-
Baloyi, 2022; Richmond et al., 2022; Atkinson et al., 2021).
