“…Analogous material and Finlex support the examination of diffusion, rationality versus legitimation and the coupling or decoupling of institutional aspects that concern evaluation, such as the link between evaluation and decision-making. The study of intense agent-driven institutional change in evaluation requires, in principle, the observance of methodological conventions of historical research (Jordanova, 2006), although this article type allows only for examples of historical change.…”

This article draws on neo-institutional theoretical ideas to empirically examine the institutionalization of evaluation in the national government of Finland. The results indicate ambiguity in the basic institutionalization of Finnish evaluation, and imprecision in the agency of the actors that carry out or commission evaluations or utilize the evaluation results. Some Finnish institutional practices of evaluation enhance formal rationality such as efficiency and effectiveness, some support legitimation, and others do both in combination. The strength of coupling of evaluation to decision-making varies greatly. For future research, the article suggests studies on the institutionalization of evaluation in other countries. For evaluation practice, the results highlight the position of evaluation along the rationality-legitimation axis, and the variable linkages of evaluation to decision-making.

“…… [They] tell us not what happened but what witnesses and commentators believed'. 70 The view of social science as a creator of primary data ignores powerful variables within the conduct of interviews and surveys, such as the 'cultural circuit' -the reinforcing of collective narratives within that of the individual, and vice versa -and the 'intersubjectivity' between questioner and respondent. 71 Consequently, any such claims of the 'creation' of these documents by social science researchers should acknowledge these variables in the construction of these sources.…”

“…To the authors of this article, it has been revealing how relevant history is for health care, starting with a historical research project in a health and social sciences context. To be certain about the traditions from one's own field of study (27), as well as knowing and being curious about methodological traditions from other research areas and fields of study, makes interdisciplinary research easier. Further we think we need to endorse the arguments from John Law; society is complex and messy.…”

In this paper, we explore how the development of historical research methodologies during the last centuries can contribute to more diverse and interdisciplinary research in future caring science, especially towards a care focus that is more person-centred. The adding of a historical approach by professional historians to the theory of person-centredness and person-centred care can develop knowledge that enables a more holistic understanding of the patient and the development of the patient perspective from the past until today. Thus, the aim was to show how developments within historical methodology can help us to understand elements of care in the past to further develop caring science in future. Historical research methodologies have advocated a "history from below" perspective, and this has enabled the evolution of systematic approaches to historical research that can be explored and critically analysed. Linked with this, the development of a more social and cultural oriented understanding of historical research has enabled historians to explore and add knowledge from a broader societal perspective. By focusing on the life of ordinary people and taking social and cultural aspects into account when trying to reconstruct the past, we can get a deeper understanding of health, care and medical development. However, an interdisciplinary research focus on person-centredness and person-centred care that includes professional historians can be challenging. In this paper, we argue that a historical perspective is necessary to meet the challenges we face in future delivery of health care to all people, in all parts of society in an ever more global world.
