Evaluating the Benefits from Health Research and Development Centres
The most appropriate criteria and the best approach for evaluating centres concerned with research into health and health services, are matters of academic and policy debate. There is interest in assessing the impact made by research on policy and practice as well as using more traditional peer review of the knowledge produced. In this context the article describes the development of a multidimensional categorization of benefits, or payback, from…
Good Medicine? A case study of business process re-engineering in a hospital
English Business pocess re-engineering (BPR) is one of the latest approaches to improving organisational performance. It evolved in the US private sector, and has been introduced to Britain and the British public sector, offering radical improvement from radical redesign. This article considers the nature of BPR (and there is more than one variety) and the suitability of its application to the public sector in general and to hospitals in particul…
The Implementation of Medical Audit
As part of the 1989 NHS Review, the government made participation in audit compulsory for the medical profession. Prior to this time, medical audit had been fragmented, implemented by “top‐down”initiatives promoted by professional bodies as well as by localized “bottom‐up”exercises undertaken by committed individuals. The paper uses evidence gained from four case studies of the implementation of medical audit in acute hospitals post 1989, to argu…
Resource Management in the National Health Service
In policy terms Resource Management (RM) is something of an exception. At a time when the government has attracted criticism both for the substance of its health service policies and for its reluctance to proceed by formal experiment, RM has attracted widespread (if guarded) support and has been the subject of a three year experiment. This paper, which is based upon an interim evaluation of the RM experiments in acute hospitals in England, examin…
The Nature of Needs Assessment in Post 16 Education
16–19 education is now a major policy issue. Because of its voluntary and specialised character and its importance in determining life chances, educational provision must be informed by some conception of the needs to be satisfied. Research undertaken into ways in which LEAs assess the needs of 16–19 year olds suggests that needs are assessed by a variety of mechanisms which reflect administrative processes and relationships and make an increment…
School Governing Bodies
School governing bodies provide the most common opportunity for citizens to participate in government in this country, but their role is singularly unclear and variable. Their past history shows that lack of clarity is not a recent phenomenon and that they have been used to stress different objectives at different times. The findings from a recent research project investigating the role of governing bodies within the local educational system are …
