Daniel M. Fox gives an incisive assessment of the critical
collaboration between researchers and public officials that has
recently emerged to evaluate the effectiveness and comparative
effectiveness of health services. Drawing on research as well as
his first-hand experience in policymaking, Fox's broad-ranging
analysis describes how politics, public finance and management, and
advances in research methods made this convergence of science and
governance possible. The book then widens into a sweeping history
of central issues in research on health services and health
governance during the past century. Returning to the past decade,
Fox looks closely at how policy informed by research has been made
and implemented in public programs that cover pharmaceutical drugs
in most American states. This case study illuminates how politics
has informed the questions, methods, and reception of research on
health services, and also sheds new light on how research has
informed politics and public management. Looking toward the future,
Fox describes the promise, as well as the fragility, of the
convergence of science and governance, making his book essential
reading for those struggling to revise health care in the United
States over the next several years.
