Decision Making in Regulatory Medicine: A Framework to Identify the influence of Special Interest Groups and “Bent” Science
The title of Dr. Michael Langan's post this morning intrigued me. He is a medical doctor and instructor at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I follow his insights and scientific queries as they contribute to the valuable discourse on managing healthcare costs and most importantly how to bring value and improved health outcomes at the point of care.

Read the post and I would also recommend the book Bending Science for a strong contextual understanding of challenge scientists, healthcare providers, journalists, and informed citizens and patients are facing.

​Thomas O. McGarity and Wendy Wagner reveal the range of sophisticated legal and financial tactics political and corporate advocates use to discredit or suppress research on potential human health hazards. Scientists can find their research blocked, or find themselves threatened with financial ruin. Corporations, plaintiff attorneys, think tanks, even government agencies have been caught suppressing or distorting research on the safety of chemical products. 

Bending Science exposes an astonishing pattern of corruption and makes a compelling case for reforms to safeguard both the integrity of science and the public health.

Thoughtful discussions about content development and outcomes analytics that apply the principles and frameworks of health policy and economics to persistent and perplexing health and health care problems.

    In a world of "evidence-based" medicine I am a bigger fan of practice-based evidence.
