The use of so-called applied academic centres as a possible way to bridge this gap is proposed. Within academic centres, the university, on the one hand, and treatment and (public) health and social welfare services, on the other, together invest in a long-term partnership. A long-term research program and a knowledge-exchange structure are developed. The authors have established these kinds of centres in different fields such as, among others, the field of public health, the field of mental health and the field of social welfare. These centres may differ in important characteristics including the number of organisations involved and the form in which the collaboration is organised. These differences make valuable comparisons possible. A plea is made for further research towards the usefulness of applied academic health centres in promoting evidence-based work within treatment and public health and social work services.

Following a mixed experience with regulation in the mid-1980s, the national government has now taken the first steps in a radical shift toward market-based competition. This article suggests that neither official strategy can address the fundamental structural and cultural factors that shape institutional behavior in the Dutch hospital system. Drawing upon empirical evidence from two 1987 hospital case studies, this article contends that Dutch hospital management reflects a precentralized insularity which, in turn, sharply reduces the likelihood that either publicly or privately framed decentralized strategies can be successfully implemented.
