The Canadian Coalition for Seniors' Mental Health (CCSMH) developed national best-practice guidelines in seniors' mental health. Promoting adoption of new guidelines is challenging, as paper dissemination alone has limited impact on practice change. ⋯ The KT mechanisms of a provincial seniors' mental health network facilitated knowledge acquisition and the intention of using national guidelines on seniors' mental health among Nova Scotian clinicians. Key elements of accelerating KT used in this initiative are discussed.
