Identifying the medical treatment guidelines that determine the
appropriateness of treatment for California workers1 compensation
recipients. Provides an evaluation of medical guidelines that might
be used to determine the appropriateness of treatment for
work-related injuries in California. Of 72 guideline sets that were
identified and screened, five comprehensive sets were found to
satisfy the legislative requirements and state preferences. Based
on results of a comparative evaluation of the technical quality and
clinical content of the five guideline sets, recommendations are
given for actions the state might take in the short term,
intermediate term, and longer term.
Considers potential efforts by the U.S. Department of Defense to
assess the performance of military treatment facilities (MTFs) in
cost-effectively managing health care. The authors first provide an
overview of performance assessment in the nonmilitary health care
sector; they then analyze the use of average MTF utilization and
costs as performance measures, focusing on how MTF size and
catastrophic cases affect these metrics.
This book examines various approaches, methodologies, and issues
related to evaluation of the impact of health programs in
developing countries and ways to make program evaluation more
rigorous. Health interventions that are effective in developed
countries may not be as effective in developing countries given the
differing social, economic, cultural, and infrastructure factors
that may affect a program's implementation and outcomes. This
monograph is intended to promote an understanding of why program
evaluation is a critical component of any health intervention and
to stimulate discussion on ways to make evaluation of health
interventions in developing countries more rigorous.
