Use of evidence to inform regional primary health care planning in Australia
We recommend PHNs improve the use of intervention evidence and stakeholder engagement to inform effective, efficient and equitable local PHC initiatives. Developing more robust, transparent and standardized internal processes for evidence-informed program planning and evaluation, as well as maintaining and strengthening community and stakeholder participation in the planning process, will improve the robustness and effectiveness of planning.
