Fostering an organizational culture supportive of evidence-informed policymaking
Publication year: 2017
We identified a total of 21 relevant documents by
searching Health Systems Evidence and running
targeted searches in PubMed, with the search strategy
for these databases detailed in Box 2. A document was
included when it directly addressed the question posed
for this rapid synthesis (i.e., it was specific to an
organizational culture supportive of evidenceinformed policymaking) or, when such evidence was
sparse, when it addressed a more general question
about organizational culture that can be applied to the
specific instance of evidence-informed policymaking.
Among the documents, we found one overview of
systematic reviews, eight systematic reviews, four nonsystematic reviews, seven primary studies, and one
assessment tool that were deemed relevant. We
provide more details about each review and single
study in Appendix 1 and 2, respectively
