All too frequently, the largest effective barrier to
interdisciplinary communication is jargon. The symposium whose
proceedings appear in the following pages sought, of course, to
eliminate unnecessary and obscurantist jargon; but it sought also
to do something far more ambitious - to confront the intellectual
issues that are attached to the use of the word "evaluation" in
medicine and health services. To this end a carefully selected
group of experts in medicine, epidemiology, and health econom ics
was invited to present papers. They were selected for their
reputations either as conceptualizers or as empirical evaluators,
or - the rarest breed of expert - as both. The context was to be
empirical. Three procedures were selected that had been subject to
evaluation but that posed rather different types of problem. The
first was the treatment of renal failure by dialysis of various
kinds. This has a relatively long history of evaluation, with a
large literature, and particularly raises broad policy is sues
within the health services of Western societies as to - the size of
programmes to be provided; the type, location, and mix of
treatments; the selection of patients to receive treatment; and the
measurement of the success of various strategies. The second was
the treatment of duodenal ulcer by a new species of drug - the
hista mine Hrreceptor antagonists (specifically, cimetidine)."
