摘要:As foreshadowed in the December 1992 issue of the Public Health Bulletin the NSW Health Department in January 1993 advertised a call for expressions of interest in carrying out demonstration projects under the Health Outcomes Program. It was intended that the projects should show how an outcome-oriented approach in the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health and clinical services could produce measurable improvements in health outcomes. The demonstration projects were also intended to serve as models which could be adopted in other localities or integrated into the NSW health system. There was an enthusiastic response, and 79 expressions of interest were submitted. Seventeen projects were selected for funding. This supplement presents summaries of the 17 successful projects.
