systems

What works• Structured process• EFHIA as a process for
learning– Technical– Conceptual– Social
• Timeliness• Identifying assumptions*• Equity has cross-sectoral
relevance*
What doesn’t• Equity adds an additional layer
of conceptual complexity*• Lack of a shared
understanding about the goals of the EFHIA
• Lack of organisational commitment
• Challenging values and differential impacts*
Effectiveness: What works an what doesn’t
* Both enablers and barriers depending on context

The overarching challenge

Discussion
• Your experience and insights
• What are the opportunities for EFHIA’s use?
• What are the challenges?
• Are there related approaches we should be considering?
• Is there a role of EFHIA in the health system?

Strategies/actions/ideas from the workshop• It is possible to incorporate EFHI into planning at LHD/state level but
• needs champions• needs to be regarded as core business.
• Transparency/trade-offs within EFHIAs aren’t straightforward• often take the form of short term pain for long term gain.
• An activity that would advance EFHIA/health equity more generally• identify the prevention activities where equity gains can be made or where there
are gaps• don’t focus solely on intractable issues or solely on greatest need, think about
where change can occur as well.• EFHIA should be considered a tool for “bringing together narratives and
numbers”• demonstrating need/relevance at a practical/local/implementation/narrative level
and aligning with population/macro/numbers level.• Is there a role for Equity Focused Health System Impact Assessment?
• this would also be about recognising where we can make gains.
