Collaborative Governance in Health and Technology Policy: The Use and Effects of Procedural Policy Instruments

Abstract

Stimulating technological innovations and limiting access to expensive health technology require the coordination and coherence of overlapping policy sub-systems: research, market access, and reimbursement. This study investigates which procedural policy instruments proved more successful in integrating collaborative governance arrangements in Great Britain and Germany. A new classification of procedural policy instruments is developed based on the targeted dimensions of collaborative governance (network structure and policy phase). The comparative analysis rests on expert interviews and meeting records and reveals that, in Great Britain, active leadership prevails during the consultations, while Germany, in contrast, presents a case of inconsistent governance.

“…Collaborative governance has been widely applied in various countries in various good sectors which provide many benefits (Powell, 1990). The application of collaborative governance gives the opportunity to manage the government with one or more public institutions directly involving non-state stakeholders in formal, consensusoriented and deliberative collective decision-making processes and aims to create or implement public policies or manage programs or public assets [1] Collaborative governance has been applied to many fields, eg infrastructure and transportation [2] [3] [4], socioeconomic fields [5] [6] [7] [8], as well as the field of environment and resources [9][10] [11]; [12] [13].…”
