Almost no potential policy can meet the conditions necessary for randomized control trials. On the other hand, too low evaluations standards can imply that ineffective or even harmful policies are implemented. Research aimed at a foundation for policy-making further requires an understanding of the decision-making process in public organizations. Decision-makers have to balance more or less legitimate interest of different stakeholders, and even make decisions when the evidence is far from perfect. They commonly act under economic and legitimate constraints, such as respect for human rights. Frameworks for compiling available evidence from different sources such as realistic synthesis and Markov-modelling will be presented and discussed. Most of the practical experience of compiling different aspects of health technologies can be found in the health technology assessment literature. Concrete and timely examples will be studied.
