This course aims to provide students with the necessary tools to develop and to successfully implement evidence-informed decisions in health.
First: The module aims to equip students with the skills to systematically assess and critically appraise existing information (literature, reports, websites, databases - building on simple searches for high level authoritative evidence, or (if this is not available) developing concepts how to establish evidence-informed technical overviews).
Students learn to provide evidence for their own managerial decision-making, but also for communicating and translating such evidence into the process of changing and improving policy and practice.
Second: With case studies other approaches of decision-making in health, as often applied in practice, such as political or diplomacy-driven approaches will be identified. This aims to raise awareness of students to the different motives of stakeholders in decision-making.
Third: Strategies for ensuring the use of evidence-informed decisions will be discussed, with a focus on
- Synthesis and presentation of evidence-informed analysis
- Methods and tools that increase evidence relevance for practice, eg: involving decision – makers and communities, using effective communication strategies, action research case studies (current examples are given)
