Health Systems Evidence – Evidence to Support Policymaking and Management (Part 1)
Find decision-relevant research evidence at www.healthsystemsevidence.org – a newly re-designed and continuously updated repository of syntheses of research evidence about governance, financial and delivery arrangements within health systems, and about implementation strategies that can support change in health systems. Participants will learn about Health Systems Evidence… why use it, what’s in it, how it was developed, how to search it, what a search will retrieve, and how to sign up to receive monthly updates. Use of Health Systems Evidence will be demonstrated using several topical questions that policymakers, managers and stakeholders may be asking.
