With contributions from internationally recognized researchers, this book addresses generic policy issues confronting health systems across the developed world. The coverage progresses from micro, patient level issues to macro, whole system issues including:
· Determining cost-effective treatments
· Fair distribution of health care
· Regulatory issues such as performance measurement and incentives
· Revenue distribution
· Decentralization and internationalization of health systems
Health Policy and Economics identifies the major contributions that health economics makes to important policy issues in health and health care. It is key reading for policy makers and health managers as well as students and academics with an interest in health policy and health services research.
