The U.S. health care system prides itself on adopting the principles of evidence-based medicine. Do the same principles and values hold true for evidence-based policymaking? If better evidence leads to better policy, then how does research get translated into the acceptance, alteration, or rejection of specific policies? What is the political equivalent of “bench-to-bedside”? When does the process fall short and how can it be made more effective?
 
Please join the Association for Public Policy and Management and Mathematica Policy Research for an engaging discussion of the roles health research and evidence play in the policy process. The interactive, roundtable-style forum will include speakers representing several facets of the policy sphere. The webinar will feature streaming live video of the forum and web attendees can participate in the discussion by submitting questions to panelists during the presentation.
