Webinar
Innovative health research is being done in New Zealand and overseas. But how do policy makers sort through research evidence to make good policy decisions for Aotearoa? How do practitioners and clinicians integrate the latest research findings into service delivery? And how do researchers make sure their research is addressing key priorities and producing the standard of evidence required for implementation?
Harnessing the power of research and data in more systematic ways will bring us closer towards a learning healthcare system, one which could deliver more equitable health outcomes and improve health outcomes for everyone. But researchers, policy makers and service providers can all struggle at times to find a clear path forward.
This webinar will explore pathways between health research, policy and practice. It will look at how these pathways connect in other countries and settings, and how they could be streamlined in Aotearoa’s new health system. It aims to start a conversation about the potential for the new health system to deliver better, and more equitable, outcomes for non-communicable diseases through more systematic use of research evidence and health data.
