Development and implementation of a new model for research support for municipal healthcare—a qualitative study

The study indicates that research support for decision-makers in the application of systematic reviews can be useful for evidence-based decision-making in municipal healthcare. However, implementing the model is resource-demanding, considering the use of time and personnel, both from the municipalities' and research institutions' point of view. Future research is needed to assess the effectiveness of the research-based support model towards better decision-making in municipalities and improvedpatient care.
