Guidance for the BATH project to enhance knowledge transfer.

Key questions	Description
Why (values)?	(i) Facilitate evidence-based decisions regarding the delivery of homecare services. (ii) Increase access to and quality of services for elders and their caregivers in the context of a shortage of OTs. (iii) Adapt bathrooms to promote the health and safety of caregivers assisting elders during bathing. (iv) Facilitate workers' mobility between HSSCs. (v) Fulfill OTs' professional obligations.
What?	(i) Target a common tool for non-OTs involved in selecting bathing equipment in HSSCs. (ii) Change clinician behavior, which will be easier if the common tool presents clear actions rather than ideas and concepts [24, 25].
To whom?	(i) Focus on homecare OTs (n ≈ 800) because individual interventions have more effect than collective ones [26] and because dissemination needs to be targeted to a specific audience [27]. (ii) Collaborate with homecare managers since context has a major influence on clinicians' behavior [24].
By whom?	(i) Messengers should be selected according to the target audience and could vary from one knowledge transfer strategy to another: the person or group of persons should be credible, influential, and have strong communication skills and leadership [24].
How?	(i) Use interactive models of research utilization to develop knowledge and provide solutions [19]. (ii) Use multiple knowledge transfer strategies, which is more effective than a single strategy [28], within budget limits. (iii) Focus on tactical logic to facilitate decisions [29], contrasting an evidence-based common tool to in-house “tools” casting doubt on the quality of services and questioning OTs' professional liability.
Why (objectives)?	(i) Deimplement in-house “tools” and utilize Algo for non-OTs involved in selecting bathing equipment in HSSCs.
