Table 6.2 Policy instrument calibration parameters
From: The Architecture of Micro-Design: A Framework of Policy Specifications and Calibrations
Attribute of instrument | Nature of calibration | Examples in use |
|---|---|---|
Precise mode of delivery (‘How is the goal to be achieved’) | Level of precision (includes ‘automaticity’) | Provide or tighten licensing requirements for therapists |
Publicness (‘How the public will be involved’) | Level of societal participation (includes ‘visibility’) | Consult with therapists and citizens’ groups on their regulation |
Intrusiveness (‘How will this affect targeted groups or individuals’) | Level of Coercion | Provide tougher penalties for unlicensed therapists |
Resource intensiveness (‘How much will this cost’) | Level of financial and personnel resources (includes ‘complexity of operation’) | Increase funding and hire more staff to administer licenses to practice |
Administering agency (‘Who will carry this out’) | Number of agencies with responsibility (includes ‘directedness’) | Create a new agency or designate an existing agency to coordinate different medical licensing authorities |
Monitoring and auditing (‘How administrators will be held accountable’) | Stringency of accountability | Tighten monitoring and identification of unlicensed therapists |
