Hello!
Hope everyone is doing alright during these turbulent and uncertain times.
I am working on my masters dissertation (MSc International Management) and would like to answer the research question of "how adaptable are frugal health care systems in developed markets?" (such as U.S.). I am really stuck as I cannot get hold of any experts to interview and data/literature is limited, as I have found so far. Does anyone have an idea of how I could tackle the methodology or has any tips on where to get data from in this area.
P.S. : Would not mind changing the angle on research question in order to make finding data/literature easier.
Many thanks in advance, feel free to contact me, if you have further questions.

Dear Juliana,
Unfortunately, my answer is rather suggestive than a problem-solver one as I am not an expert in the mentioned field. However, seeing empty discussion motivated me to share some basic ideas that came into my mind. If you have such a narrow research interest, expert interviews are really important to implement a method to study certain phenomena. My recommendations are as follows:
Best Regards,

I don't know if this helps but I have documented frugal healthcare systems in India by way of case studies, in my book on Rural Marketing (Sage). These could well be replicated in developed markets. Dr Yunus had replicated Grameen Bank in US, so replicating these activities there should also be no problem.
The International Union of Architects, Public Health Group and International Federation of Hospital Engineering have put together a framework for cost containment measures. This would be an interesting approach to review, and source for international experts to convene a focus group.
