First published in 1992, Quality and Regulation in Health Care
employs socio-legal ideas concerning regulation to examine the
methods used to influence the quality of health care in the US, UK,
and Western Europe. Throughout the Western world, health care
systems, both public and private, are grappling with the problems
of assuring quality while containing costs. On the one hand,
governments and insurers argue that there must be some limit to the
apparently endless growth of health care expenditures. On the
other, patient groups and consumer advocates, already dissatisfied
by the problems in holding doctors accountable for their actions,
protest that such limits must not result in sick people getting
inferior treatment. This book examines in detail the debate
surrounding the question: How can the professional expertise of the
clinicians be reconciled with the preferences of their patients and
the economic concerns of taxpayers or insurers? It will be
essential reading for graduate and undergraduate courses in health
policy, medical sociology, and health law.
