Institutional boundaries and the challenges of aligning science advice and policy dynamics: the UK and Canada in the time of COVID-19
Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Oct;18(4):377-394. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000221. Epub 2023 Oct 13.ABSTRACTThis comparison of institutions of science advice during COVID-19 between the Westminster systems of England/UK and Ontario/Canada focuses on the role of science in informing public policy in two central components of the response to the pandemic: the adoption of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and the procuring of vaccines. It compares and contrasts established and purpose-built bodies with varying degrees of independence from the political executive, and shows how each attempted to manage the tensions between ...

Integrated care in a Beveridge system: experiences from England and Denmark
Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Oct;18(4):345-361. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000166. Epub 2023 Oct 13.ABSTRACTHealth systems internationally face demands to deliver care that is better coordinated and integrated. The health system financing and delivery model may go some, but not all the way in explaining health system fragmentation. In this paper, we consider the road to care integration in two countries with Beveridge style health systems, England and Denmark, that are both ranked as highly Integrated systems in Toth's health integration index. We use the SELFIE framework to compare the policies and reforms that have affected...

Fellow travellers in transformative times: a reflection on 21 years membership of the European Health Policy Group
Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Oct;18(4):426-430. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000154.ABSTRACTIt must have been early 2000, around the start of the new Millennium. I was working as a junior lecturer/researcher at the then Institute for Health Care Policy and Management at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Still barely familiar with Dutch health care as a policy system, let alone with European health care policy systems I decided that it would be a good idea to attend a seminar of the recently established European Health Policy Group. I had heard good stories about this new multidisciplinary group, founded by Elias...

We need to talk about values: a proposed framework for the articulation of normative reasoning in health technology assessment
Health Econ Policy Law. 2023 Sep 27:1-21. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is acknowledged that health technology assessment (HTA) is an inherently value-based activity that makes use of normative reasoning alongside empirical evidence. But the language used to conceptualise and articulate HTA's normative aspects is demonstrably unnuanced, imprecise, and inconsistently employed, undermining transparency and preventing proper scrutiny of the rationales on which decisions are based. This paper - developed through a cross-disciplinary collaboration of 24 researchers with expertise in healthcare...
