What is Health Policy Developments: Focus On Accountability, (de)centralization Trends, And Information Technologies about?

Issue 4 of Health Policy Developments analyzes the efforts countries undertake to ensure and regulate access to health care services from a range of perspectives. Equity, financial fairness and quality concerns are addressed, as are obstacles to access, such as regional and cultural patterns.This issue also looks into the ongoing reform efforts on the provider side. Primary care ranks high on the health policy agenda in many countries, as does the search for more appropriate ways of organizing health care delivery in terms of quality, efficiency and responsiveness to patients' needs.For the first time, health policy reports from Israel are included, contributing this country's experiences with quality measurement and co-payments to the health policy debate. The Newsflash chapter follows up on issues from earlier survey rounds.The International Network Health Policy & Reform aims to narrow the gap between health services research and health policy. Network partners are research institutions and health policy experts from 17 industrialized countries.
