Policy-relevant systematic reviews to strengthen health systems: models and mechanisms to support their production

Support for producing systematic reviews about health systems is less well developed than for those about clinical practice. By interviewing policy makers and systematic reviewers this paper identified institutional mechanisms which brought systematic reviews and policy priorities closer by harnessing organisational and individual motivations, emphasising engagement between policy and research, embedding efforts in conducive structures and supporting them with formalised procedures.
