“You’ve just got to have it ready for when they’re ready” – Australian policymakers’ perceptions of living evidence synthesis and its opportunity to support health policy
This study demonstrated that most policymakers who had used LES valued it. It highlighted opportunities for improvement to enable ongoing LES to inform health policy. By working in partnership, policymakers, knowledge users and evidence producers can further understand and optimize this approach to realize the potential to strengthen health systems by enabling the use of up-to-date evidence in policy decisions.
