  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • The Scottish Needs Assessment Programme (SNAP) conducted a comprehensive review of needs assessment reports.
  • This review encompassed 14 topic areas in Scotland and relevant national documents from England.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the content and efficiency of needs assessment reports.
  • To identify areas for improvement in health needs assessment processes for public health and purchasing decisions.

Main Methods:

  • Stocktaking review of needs assessment reports from Scotland (1991-1994).
  • Comparative review of national needs assessment documents from England.
  • Analysis of content definitions and information collation processes.

Main Results:

  • The definition of need as "ability to benefit" requires balancing with broader public health considerations.
  • Economic and costing information should be integrated into needs assessments.
  • Information collation for purchasing can be enhanced for greater efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • Closer collaboration between clinical experts and public health specialists is crucial for timely and effective health assessments.
  • National reviews should offer generalizable intelligence and comparative analysis.
  • Local reports should focus on specific quantification and priority setting.
