The impact of health economics on health policy in England, and the impact of health policy on health economics, 1972–1997
回顾过去25年卫生经济学对英格兰卫生政策的影响，发现有一定成效但仍有不足，同时探讨了卫生政策对卫生经济学的反向影响。
This paper contains a review of the impact of health economics on health policy in England during the past 25 years. Some health economists have expressed disappointment with the scale of the impact that health economics has had on policy but the record set out below suggests that there is modest cause for celebration. That is not to say that there is cause for complacency. There is still a long way to go before all important health policies are based on sound economics reasoning and evidence. The paper begins with some definitions and background; it covers nine areas of health policy, and health policy making, where past impacts of health economics have been postulated; it covers briefly the reciprocal impact of health policy on health economics; and it concludes with a discussion about the findings.
