Description

In a workshop organized by the Clinical Research roundtable, representatives from purchaser organizations (employers), payer organizations (health plans and insurance companies), and other stakeholder organizations (voluntary health associations, clinical researchers, research organizations, and the technology community) came together to explore:

• What do purchasers and payers need from the Clinical Research Enterprise?
• How have current efforts in clinical research met their needs?
• What are purchasers, payers, and other stakeholders willing to contribute to the enterprise?
  

This book documents these discussions and summarizes what employers and insurers need from and are willing to contribute to clinical research from both a business and a national health care perspective.

Reviews

"Student or shapers of social policy might use this book as a model for involving stakeholders of national scope in addressing any policy, whether health care, welfare, housing, or the research enterprise itself. ... Leaders of the [social work] profession who are focused on building the knowledge base for social work practice, enhancing the relevance of education, and developing the research workforce might see this report as food for thought and fuel for action."
