Publisher's Synopsis
Health systems across the globe face similar problems: maintaining or improving health care quality and access while controlling costs. Notwithstanding the unprecedented health system reforms of the past decades, many outstanding problems remain in these areas. Drawing on experts from Europe, America and other countries, this eclectic collection of cutting-edge research explores both the macro issues in health systems reform, the policy perspective, and the micro issues such as performance, inequality and economic evaluation. The book will be of interest to health care academics, policy makers, managers and practitioners interested in keeping abreast of the latest developments in health care research.
