There is growing recognition that critical decisions concerning investments in new health care technologies and services should incorporate society's values along with the scientific evidence. From a normative perspective, public engagement can help realize the democratic ideals of legitimacy, transparency, and accountability. On a more pragmatic level, public engagement can help stakeholders understand the degree of popular support for policy options, and may enhance public trust in decision-making processes. To better understand public attitudes and values relating to priority setting in health care, researchers and decision-makers will have to employ a range of quantitative and qualitative approaches, drawing on different disciplines and methodological traditions.
人们越来越认识到,有关新医疗技术和服务投资的关键决策应将社会价值观与科学证据结合起来。从规范的角度来看,公众参与有助于实现合法性、透明度和问责制等民主理想。在更务实的层面上,公众参与可以帮助利益相关者了解公众对政策选择的支持程度,并可能增强公众对决策过程的信任。为了更好地理解公众对医疗保健优先事项设定的态度和价值观,研究人员和决策者将不得不采用一系列定量和定性方法,借鉴不同学科和方法传统。
