Informed Decisions Toolbox

Using research evidence when making decisions about the organization and financing of health care has great appeal, yet decision-makers do not always use this information. The Informed Decisions Toolbox addresses this issue in six steps and aims to help the health care decision-maker:

1. Acquire the best available evidence when making management decisions;
2. Assess whether evidence is useful, defined as accurate, applicable, actionable, and accessible;
3. Improve the process by which evidence is used in decision-making.
