“…This category of studies is intended to capture MSA applications that are practitioner or advocate oriented. Only a small proportion of the illustrative list fell into this category—Avery (), Howie (), Pralle (). Moreover, this practitioner or advocacy lean does not seem to feature heavily in the wider MSA‐specific literature identified by Jones et al ().…”

Abstract. While John Kingdon's Multiple Streams Approach (MSA) remains a key reference point in the public policy literature, few have attempted to assess MSA holistically. To assess its broader impact and trends in usage, we combine in-depth analysis of representative studies, with comprehensive coverage of MSA-inspired articles, to categorize its impact. We find that Kingdon's work makes two separate contributions. First, it has contributed to the development of 'evolutionary' policy theories such as punctuated equilibrium. Second, it has prompted a large, dedicated, and often empirical, literature. However, most MSA empirical applications only engage with broader policy theory superficially. The two contributions are oddly independent of each other. We argue that these trends in application are due largely to its intuitive appeal and low 'barrier to entry'. Drawing on other policy approaches, we offer suggestions to improve the MSA-inspired literature.

“…Iatrogenic care and medical errors are an issue for all countries, however one of the difficulties in assessing safety using such metrics is the failure to report or accurately report either or both. Medical error reporting needs significant improvement yet is relatively robust in the USA compared to other nations, however there are still states that do not require reporting (Schappach, 2014;Unal and Seren, 2016;Howie, 2009). Another metric compared internationally is the incidence rate of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs).…”

International comparisons between the US quasi-market and other nations' nationalised healthcare or insurance models have, and continue to generate significant debate. Discussions inevitably cite the World Health Organization's or Commonwealth Fund's work, but what these comparisons actually examine is somewhat unclear when examining the complexity of what is being compared. Often international healthcare comparisons are presented as one based on the quality of healthcare in subject national systems. This paper discusses some of the complexities associated with international comparisons, provides some additional perspectives for metrics often cited in international comparisons, and suggests we may be served better by adjusting the premises of continued discourse in the matter. If the purpose of international comparisons is to evaluate the world laboratory of healthcare policy and processes, which it should, this paper suggests the discussion needs redirected in both focus and content.Keywords: international healthcare comparisons; US healthcare; healthcare model comparisons; quasi-market versus nationalised healthcare insurance or socialised healthcare; single payer versus quasi-market healthcare; international healthcare quality comparisons.

“…[40][41][42][43][44][45] It is recognised that there are major barriers to medical reporting, such as the 'culture of blame'. 46,47 To promote participation of health services providers it must be made clear in advance that the person reporting shall remain anonymous, that no charges will be pressed and he or she will not be prosecuted.…”

The critical problem of medical errors and the associated costs has recently been increasingly in the focus of attention of a number of world renowned experts. In the present article we review in detail and analyse the economic aspects of this problem. A methodology to assess the cost of medical errors and an algorithm for their prevention are presented. The cost of a medical error and the expenses required to avoid and prevent it are compared using graphical analysis of the prevention cost curve and the medical error compensation damages cost curve.
