Abstract:
We aimed to depict what could be evidence-based health services planning. Therefore, we performed a literature search on health services planning. The direct use of EBM (evidence-based medicine) and EBP (evidence-based practice) definitions in the context of planning and comparison of the planning process and EBP possible evidence-based processes of acting have been outlined. Definitions of EBM and EBP can partially be applied in the context of health services planning. There is much less established experience in acting evidence-based in planning compared with applications in a clinical setting. The concept of EBP may basically give the direction in health services planning. In detail, it is necessary to adopt EBP principles because of heterogeneous demands for information and also typical characteristics of the health service system. Ways to implement evidence in planning have to be established.
