Curatio international Foundation developed a Platform for evidence informed policy-making in Georgia in the frame of the Policy Information Platform Project (PIP) funded by the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research. The PIP aims to improve access of policy makers to the relevant, reliable, accessible and timely information.
The platform in general prioritizes evidence generated locally, followed by the global evidence. Content of the PIP addresses key priorities in the health care system of the country. At present five reviews/ evidence summaries with respective libraries have been developed.
The evidence review summarizes existing literature on Pay for Performance (P4P) effectiveness on utilization and quality of primary health care in private settings in middle-income and high- income countries. The evidence review was developed in response to the request of the Parliament Committee on Health and Social Issues in Georgia in the frame of Embedded Rapid Reviews in Health Systems Decision Making (ERA) platform in Georgia.
The Rapid Response document represents an evidence synthesis about effective measures to respond to the COVID-19 epidemic. Since the epidemic is unknown to the world, the experience of countries that have taken successful steps in the epidemic response is essential. Presently, such countries include South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. Based on the summarized evidence, we identified a set of measures for an effective response to the epidemic. The document also presents different projected scenarios of how the epidemic may expand in the country based on the modeling exercise conducted on March 19th 2020.
The policy dialogue was informed by a rapid response document developed to answer a high priority question raised by health policy makers in Georgia formulated as follows: how to reduce the overall cost paid by the nation on pharmaceuticals and how to protect the public.
The document presents a brief summary of best international practices in providing Tuberculosis services within Primary Health Care in Low and Middle Income Countries, and High-Income Countries. The summary is based on the review of the latest interventions and evidence reports from 2007-2017. The review is suitable for a wide audience including policy makers, healthcare researchers and health managers interested in learning more about tuberculosis management in primary health care.
The document presents a brief summary of evidences of TB specific Performance Based Financing (PBF) programs. The review is suitable for a wide audience including policy makers, healthcare researchers and health managers interested in learning more about PBF schemes in Tuberculosis Care.
The library developed under the project aims to present brief summary of evidences on application and effect of Results Based Financing (RBF) schemes in primary care in Low and Lower-Middle Income Countries (LLMIC) with focus of immunization services. The summary is based on review of latest evidences. It is intended for operational readership: for policy makers, health care managers and other actors interested to learn more on RBF schemes.

The evidence review is intended for policy makers, budget planners, facility managers and other stakeholders interested to learn more about the topic.
The review aims to present health costs monitoring principles through analyses of health indicators. The evidence summary provides indicator selection criteria and several examples from high and middle- income countries. The review is intended for health program managers and policy makers.
The topic of the review is health cost containment strategies. It is mainly based on developing countries experience, although is relevant for middle-income countries where increase of the health costs is observed.
