For two of these sets of studies, a wide interpretation of utilisation in policy-making was used [ 14, 17, 89, 106], and one focused explicitly on evaluative research [ 89].
Interpretation of utilisation is also constrained by the known association of poor health with many of the socioeconomic factors being studied but by adjusting for subjective health it is possible to at least partly counteract the effects of selection, so that these data provide important insights into the relationship between health insurance and use of the health system in Russia.
This review will provide examples of where wide interpretations of utilisation have been incorporated into studies of the impact of research.
Key indicators with guidance notes for 'Health Information Management' standard: 'The design and delivery of health services are guided by the collection, analysis, interpretation and utilisation of relevant public health data.' A checklist of information required by the health system and services in preparation for disaster response.
Identify the implementation processes that support or constrain the successful collation, interpretation and utilisation of PROMs data and; Identify the mechanisms and circumstances through which the unintended consequences of PROMs data arise and those where they can be avoided.
Produce a comprehensive taxonomy of the 'programme theories' underlying these different functions, capture their subtle differences and the tensions that may lie between them and; Produce logical models of the organisational logistics, social processes and decision-making sequences that underlie the collation, interpretation and utilisation of PROMs data.
We will synthesise this evidence to (1) identify the implementation processes which support or constrain the successful collation, interpretation and utilisation of PROMs data; (2) identify the implementation processes through which the unintended consequences of PROMs data arise and those where they can be avoided.
Our objectives are to: Produce a comprehensive taxonomy of the 'programme theories' underlying these different functions, capture their subtle differences and the tensions that may lie between them and; Produce logical models of the organisational logistics, social processes and decision-making sequences that underlie the collation, interpretation and utilisation of PROMs data.
The specific objectives of this synthesis are to: Identify the implementation processes that support or constrain the successful collation, interpretation and utilisation of PROMs data and; Identify the mechanisms and circumstances through which the unintended consequences of PROMs data arise and those where they can be avoided.
In their review, Alexander and Kotelchuck [ 19] concluded that it is crucial to understand the conceptual limitations of each quality assessment index in order to make a valid interpretation of the patterns of antenatal care utilisation.
12 At individual and aggregate levels there are many organisational, methodological and logistical challenges to the collation, interpretation and then utilisation of PROMs data.
