Health care delivery is undergoing intense scrutiny and pressure
for change: people have high expectations and want value for money.
Research can do much to evaluate the effectiveness of health care,
but deeply rooted disciplinary preconceptions - about what should
be done and how, and about what is scientific - have hampered
relevant research. "Researching Health Care" brings together an
international team of health researchers from the fields of
clinical care, clinical epidemiology, bio-statistics, sociology,
health economics and health policy. The problem of research method
is central to the evaluation of health care, and the contributors
therefore focus on the three most important methods in use at
present: experimental methods, surveys and other quantitative
methods, and qualitative methods. The strengths and limitations of
each method are spelled out, and the contributors show how some
methods are more appropriate for evaluating the technical aspects
of medicine, others for social and community issues. They argue
that complex health care problems can be adequately addressed only
by an equally broad range of research study designs, as well as by
a willingness to co-operate. Th
