Summary:

Measuring the Performance of the Hollow State is the first in-depth look at the influence of performance measurement on the effectiveness of the federal government.

They focus a systematic examination on five agencies in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Servicesùthe Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service
