Abstract

The presentation provides leading questions towards understanding the role of evaluation in health care and in health policy and how these might apply and have impact on health care in China. Policy resistance is the tendency for interventions to be defeated by the system’s response to the intervention itself. The presentation reminds its audience that interventions are embedded in social systems and shaped by this context. Evaluation can be conceived of as an intervention with short- and long-term goals. One of the intermediate goals is to influence policy. The long-term goal is to improve individual lives.
