9789086594641: Transitions in health systems: dealing with persistent problems

Sinopsis

Nowadays, health care is confronted with a wide variety of problems: new emerging or re-emerging diseases, rising costs, increasingly complex management processes, and so on. Since the 1990s most nations have tried to deal with these problems by reforming their health systems. However, many of these reforms did not succeed in realizing the desired gains in efficiency and equity.

This book aims at exploring persistent problems in health systems and health system reform from an innovative perspective - the perspective
of the new, emerging scientific field of system innovation and
transition theory. This generates new and refreshing insights on how
to innovate health systems. In particular, strategies that could be
labelled transition experiments - involving all relevant stakeholders
exploring new constellations in niches - are described and analyzed.
