on <strong>Translational</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong><br />
Edition 2017<br />
“There are many examples of individuals and institutions who take the initiative to close the gap between research<br />
and clinical practice. However, it is impossible for individual institutions to change the system as a whole. During the<br />
summer school on <strong>Translational</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> we came up with the idea of an ‘Impact Index’: a label that indicates what<br />
institutions already do to close the research-practice gap.<br />
This index would have two goals: to create transparency on ‘best-practices’ of institutions that already invest in<br />
improving the quality of research and translating research outcomes to the patient, and to encourage institutions<br />
that have fallen behind to invest in improving the quality of research, using the<br />
best-practices available.”<br />
