Inhaltsangabe

Persistent difficulties in health systems and health system reform are explored in this book through the emerging scientific field of system innovation and transition theory. With emerging diseases, rising costs, and increasingly complex management processes, health care around the world is persistently confronted with a wide variety of problems that have not been adequately solved by attempted reforms in the health systems of many nations. From an innovative perspective, this book provides a number of beneficial strategies and inspirational, creative ideas of reform that improve efficiency and equity and work on all levels of national health systems. These strategies are described and analyzed so that they offer a new way of thinking for hospitals, insurance companies, and governmental boards.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
