Rand Compare

"COMPARE is a transparent, evidence-based approach to providing information and tools to help policymakers, the media, and other interested parties understand, design, and evaluate health policies.

COMPARE has four objectives:

- Synthesize what is known about the current health care system.

- Describe policy options that have been proposed to address one or more existing challenges.

- Analyze the effects of different health care policy options on multiple dimensions of health system performance.

- Identify gaps in our knowledge about the effects of policy changes.

- Rather than constructing specific policy proposals, COMPARE offers objective analyses of policy options currently being used, considered, or discussed by public and private policymakers

Who Is Conducting COMPARE?
