The importance of mutual communication between researchers and policy makers cannot be overestimated. Although economists are presumed to have an advantage, more interdisciplinary health services research is needed. The case for government support of research and use of its findings is not based solely on government spending for health care. The interests of the federal programs are not well served by a declining access to data or by ambiguous distinctions between research and policy analysis.
研究人员与政策制定者之间相互沟通的重要性再怎么强调也不为过。尽管人们认为经济学家具有优势，但仍需要开展更多跨学科的卫生服务研究。政府支持研究及其研究结果应用的理由并非仅仅基于政府在医疗保健方面的支出。数据获取渠道减少或研究与政策分析之间的区分模糊不清，对联邦项目的利益并无益处。
