The New Novum Organum: Policy, Perceptions and Emotions in Healthcare

The New Novum Organum: Policy, Perceptions and Emotions in Health presents studies on reactions to alternatives in health experiences. The original Novum Organum was the process of systematically collecting and organizing data inductively. The Novum Organum was first published in 1620 by Francis Bacon, who organized the sciences. Bacon defined a method of scientific inquiry, a new way to extend knowledge using a new logic. Through the discipline of repeatable experiments, Bacon sought to discover relations which were not self-evident. Bacon was an early philosopher of science whose methods revolutionized how knowledge about the world is gained. We use experimental design to reveal the underlying primary mid-sets of people. Our experiments generate deep knowledge about percetions and emotions regarding the value of health plans and policies.
