Question

What are some of the issues for the introduction of evidence-based policy? What are the best strategies for ensuring that evidence and research are translated into policy and practice?

Answer 1

Evidence-based policy is an important tool that will help the government to make decisions and as well as the government learns what works. It will help to meet the important challenges and makes ensure that the public funds are used as effectively as possible. The introduction of evidence-based policy is facing so many issues in the context of medical practices.

Evidence-based policy is otherwise called as public policy that is grounded in empirical evidence.

$\rightarrow$ Issues :

One of the main issues nowadays facing was the professional practice of administering various medical treatments whose application and use was not necessarily grounded in empirical research

*The efforts on the application of evidence-based policy are still being a question (The efforts are still in process )

*Public agencies lack the capacity, skills, and funding in the effective implementation and use of build evidence

*lack of commitment from the agency leaders to apply these evidence into decision making

*Debates are going on regarding the outcomes

*Lack of accountability in the implementation of the programme from the recognized/concerned authority

$\rightarrow$ Strategies :

*Clearly state the goals of policies and programmes base on predefined outcomes or outcomes to be achieved

*The goals should be planned based on participant outcomes

*Plan the goals and strategies based on the principles of evidence-based policy making

*Create an evidence-based framework focuses on policy making

*Plan and efficiency in the use of resources

*Reduce the cost barriers to conduct low-cost randomized controlled trials for impact evaluations

*Improvisation of partisanship in the implementation of the pre-planned goals

*Use best resources or programs that can be helpful to ensure that evidence and research can be translated in policy and practice.

*Terminate consistently ineffective programs and find better approaches

The evidence-based movement was effectively practiced as a newer trend that needs accountability through a particular kind of policy and program evaluation
