  • These systems involve distinct responsibilities for funding, purchasing, providing, and ownership of health services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and compare purchaser-provider systems in the UK, Finland, New Zealand, and Australia.
  • To identify similarities and differences in these healthcare arrangements.
  • To emphasize the need for systematic academic study and international collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive analysis of purchaser-provider systems in four countries.
  • Comparative analysis of key features, including funding, purchasing, provision, and ownership.
