735 Rehabilitation educational outputs: a report of burn model system dissemination efforts

<h3>Background</h3> Knowledge translation and consumer testing seeks to move clinical research from scientists, peer-reviewed journals, and conferences to the hands of end-users. The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Researched funded Burn Model System (BMS) and Model System Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC) have worked together to develop and disseminate rehabilitation education materials. <h3>Objective</h3> The BMS in collaboration with the MSKTC uses a multi-step process for developing and consumer-testing evidence-based/consensus-derived educational information prioritized by consumers. The final written products are made available in multiple languages and are disseminated through websites, clinical encounters, social media, and national/international engagement with clinicians and burn-related organizations (end-users). We aimed to understand the impact of dissemination efforts overtime. <h3>Methods</h3> The number of online views, a measure of general dissemination, was used to calculate dissemination growth for each written product. Data reported for the annual performance reviews was used between the timepoints of mid-2019 to mid-2023 and was used to calculate the percent gained. The median value for percentage increase was calculated and used as the primary metric for dissemination growth. <h3>Results</h3> Since 2011, the collaboration between the BMS and the MSKTC has produced or updated 22 educational factsheets, three videos, three infocomics, and one infographic. Collectively, these products have been viewed over two million times by people in 216 countries. Online views of all products have generally increased year-to-year. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The process of developing and consumer-testing education information used by the BMS and MSKTC makes relevant health information accessible and understandable for consumers. As a result, Burn Model System informational products have been increasingly viewed by US and international consumers which directly benefits rehabilitation communities concerned with burn care and recovery.
