Rigorous evaluation of health care interventions can provide the evidence needed to
improve patient outcomes and to inform decisions regarding future initiatives. A
Healthier Future for all Australians emphasises “knowledge-led continuous
improvement, innovation and research” and a “greater investment in public health,
health policy and health services research including ongoing evaluation of health
reforms”.
This RESEARCH ROUNDup follows on from a previous issue: Chronic disease
self-management. It covers evaluation research which is being undertaken within
Australian primary health care in the field of chronic disease management (CDM).
