Popis: The aim of this scoping study was to understand the opatimal structure and function of rural health councils (RHCs).The study used the scoping review methodology, informed by both Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual (The Joanna Briggs Institute 2015).Evidence demonstrates that the functions of RHCs range from identifying healthcare issues and priorities to local resource management. Enabling structures included the use of skills-based merit matrices to determine membership.We found evidence on how to build effective models to support patient involvement in healthcare planning and service delivery to lead to care that reflects the needs of rural communities.
