This volume explores the central issues driving the present process of healthcare reform in Europe. More than 30 scholars and policy makers from various parts of Europe draw together the available evidence from epidemiology and public health, economics, public policy, organizational behaviour and management theory. Real world examples of policy making are used to lay out the options that health sector decision-makers confront. Through its cross-disciplinary, cross-national approach, the book highlights the underlying trends that now influence health policy formulation across Europe. This text therefore provides an authoratative introduction to a broad synthesis of present trends and strategies in European health policy.
