This is a document by the OECD Secretariat for the purpose of informing participants of the background and proposed questions for the PaRIS from Data to Health Policy interviews.
The aim of this interview is to explore how countries use PaRIS data and results from Cycle 1 in their national quality and performance improvement initiatives.
The interview has two objectives: 1) to examine the policy and practice impact of PaRIS, identifying concrete examples of good practices and 2) to enable cross‑country learning by gathering insights on effective mechanisms that support the use of PaRIS data.
The results of this work will be presented in a detailed report describing the mechanisms and operational approaches that help transform PaRIS data into meaningful policy and practice impact.
To elucidate how countries are using and applying the PaRIS data, the following interview guide was based on the Knowledge to Action framework.1 This framework consists of seven‑stage action cycle which represents the activities that are needed for knowledge application.
The OECD PaRIS team.
Can you tell us briefly about your role in PaRIS in your country?
Could you expand upon the involvement and role of others (such as any stakeholder groups) in the project in your country?
Could you tell us about the activities organised over the past year to interpret the PaRIS findings for the audience in your country?
Could you tell us how you contextualised the PaRIS results to better suit your country context?
Could you tell us a bit more about how you experienced enablers and barriers to disseminating the PaRIS results?
Could you describe any instances where the PaRIS results informed policy discussions or was a useful source of information for policymakers?
Could you tell us more about the use of PaRIS data and insights by healthcare providers, regional authorities, or primary care networks?
Can you describe some early programmatic or implementation-level impacts that the PaRIS results have had in your national context? (e.g. Digital Health & Surveillance, Primary Care Planning, Service Redesign and Program Adaptation).
Recognising that implementation may still be at an early stage, can you tell us a bit more about how the long-term impact of PaRIS will be monitored?
Will PaRIS data be integrated into ongoing national quality and performance improvement systems?
What steps are being taken to ensure sustained use of PaRIS data and results? (e.g. being part of national performance indicators, incorporated into accreditation and certification programmes, incorporated into continues professional development).
What additional information (data points or metrics) might increase the relevance of PaRIS findings to your health policy and practice activities?
Is there anything we have not covered that you think is important?
Do you have any other questions for us?
