TL;DR: The competitive worldwide economic environment and ever-increasing costs of health care have created a setting in which understanding costs and making sure that the authors achieve good value in health care are paramount, and one approach to seeking value is through the use of cost-effectiveness analysis.
Abstract: The competitive worldwide economic environment and ever-increasing costs of health care have created a setting in which understanding costs and making sure that we achieve good value in health care are paramount. One approach to seeking value is through the use of cost-effectiveness analysis. Although this science is now several decades old, it has been refined over the last several years, with increasingly sophisticated statistical and standardized methods.1,2 Is cost-effectiveness analysis useful? Does it help in medical decision making and in allocation of scarce resources? In the accompanying article, “Cost, Effectiveness, and Cost-Effectiveness” Diamond and Kaul3 argue that cost-effectiveness analysis is not a useful approach. Although we agree with many of the points that Diamond and Kaul raise, we do not agree with their conclusion. Cost-effectiveness analysis involves an assessment of both cost and effectiveness. The distribution of each needs to be understood. A cost-effectiveness analysis is only as valid as its underlying measures of effectiveness and cost, a discussion that is beyond the scope of this article. However, the methods to make these assessments vary considerably. There are standards for cost-effectiveness, but at times, perfectly adhering to these standards is not realistic, and compromises are often made that may be entirely scientifically legitimate.4 Cost-effectiveness is, by nature, incremental. Thus, it is necessary to look at the added costs compared with a control group. Selection of the appropriate control group is a challenge itself. At times, the appropriate control is placebo, and at other times, it is active therapy; the appropriate control is dependent on the clinical question being asked. However, when cost-effectiveness analysis is conducted using data from a clinical trial, the selection of the control group will not be a decision that the analyst can affect (at least after the trial has been completed). When …

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify four critical puzzles that the successful programs were able to solve: design, implementation, improvement, and sustainability, and identify the key elements that all successful reform programs share.
Abstract: One of the great challenges now facing education reformers in the United States is how to devise a consistent and intelligent framework for instruction that will work across the nation's notoriously fragmented and politically conflicted school systems. Various programs have tried to do that, but only a few have succeeded. Improvement by Design looks at three different programs, seeking to understand why two of them - America's Choice and Success for All - worked, and why the third-Accelerated Schools Project - did not. The authors identify four critical puzzles that the successful programs were able to solve: design, implementation, improvement, and sustainability. Pinpointing the specific solutions that clearly improved instruction, they identify the key elements that all successful reform programs share. Offering urgently needed guidance for state and local school systems as they attempt to respond to future reform proposals, Improvement by Design gets America one step closer to truly successful education systems.
