Needs assessment, planning and evaluation are three of the tools used in public health to ensure that health care is provided in an appropriate way to meet real needs to promote health and reduce inequalities. The methods of needs assessment encompass all forms of research methods in defining health needs. More general planning theories and practice need to be tailored for use in health care settings. Evaluation of health interventions takes many forms and various models will be presented. One modality often used in health evaluation is health economics, which will be introduced as part of this module.
