Increasing the use of research evidence in health policies
TDR news item
24 September 2015
Policy-makers can learn how to increase their use of research evidence, according to 3 new publications that have come out of a TDR IMPACT grant. (...) The Online Journal of Public Health Informatics noted how skills increased to identify and share the right kind of information to influence policy decisions and actions. (...) Any capacity enhancement initiative designed to enable policy-makers to prepare and use policy briefs effectively and efficiently, should contain knowledge and skills building components that will improve the following: (i) Policy-makers’ ability to clarify policy relevant problems; (ii) Policy-makers’ ability to decide on – and describe – the options to address the problem; (iii) Policy-makers’ ability to identify and address barriers to implementing policy options; and (iv) Policy-makers’ ability to organise and run policy dialogues.

How can the digitization of business rules be accelerated to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of digital trust decisions?
(...) Regulatory bodies are increasing demands on businesses to protect customers, end users, marketplaces and suppliers from rapidly increasing rates of incidents of data and identify theft, fraud, denial of service, ransomware, terrorism and other threats.
(...) The speed and accuracy with which business decisions can be made is increased by the proportion of business rules that can be digitized.
