Factors Predicting Medicare National Coverage
BACKGROUND: Interventions considered to be particularly controversial or expected to significantly impact the Medicare program in the United States are considered in National Coverage Determinations. Medicare coverage for such interventions is limited to those deemed "reasonable and necessary" for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury. What constitutes reasonable and necessary has not, however, been clearly defined. OBJECTIVE: To det…
Lay involvement in the public funding of medical research
The relationship between social context, interaction, interpretation and the drawing of boundaries with regard to knowledge and competence deemed appropriate for informed decision-making is particularly pertinent with regard to the public funding of medical research. This article focuses on this issue by drawing on a study of an advisory group established to provide lay perspectives on the work of the UK's Medical Research Council, a publicly fun…
Assessing the benefits of health research
The utilisation of health research in policy-making
The importance of health research utilisation in policy-making, and of understanding the mechanisms involved, is increasingly recognised. Recent reports calling for more resources to improve health in developing countries, and global pressures for accountability, draw greater attention to research-informed policy-making. Key utilisation issues have been described for at least twenty years, but the growing focus on health research systems creates …
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…

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…
Relationship Between Functional Status and Health-Related Quality-of-Life After Myocardial Infarction
Despite increasing use in clinical and economic studies, no gold standard exists for the measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQL). One approach to assessing the validity of an HRQL instrument for a particular disease population is to examine the empirical relationship between HRQL patient scores and other accepted measures of health or functional status. In 185 patients (mean age 60 years, 79% male) at six months after myocardial infa…
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…

Anxiety and Plasma Cortisol at the Crest of the Circadian Cycle
Near-maximal anxiety by subjective and behavioral criteria was evoked and terminated in phobic patients by initiation and termination of rapid live confrontation ("flooding in vivo") with the specific stimulus that each avoided, at a time approximating the crest of the circadian cycle of adrenal cortical function. The procedure was associated with moderate, but not marked, elevations of plasma cortisol above control levels in some, but not all, s…
