Topic: Priority setting

Description: This learning brief is aimed at providing insight into the planning and development of the South African Health Knowledge Network, SA HealthInfo. The methodology behind this initiative is in essence based on the principles of knowledge management and the drivers of a system of innovation – in this instance as applicable to the needs of the health system in South Africa.

The knowledge network aims to provide a one-stop interactive forum/resource, for quality-controlled and evidence-based health research information, to a wide spectrum of users. Moving from its prototype phase to a system with useful content, the knowledge network is expected to stimulate the process of innovation within the South African health system, from the level of consumers making more informed decisions about their own health, to policy making. It will hopefully add to regional and global knowledge sources.
