Analyzing the evidence on European health care reforms
1Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University, Atlanta, USA.
Abstract:
Health system reform, in Europe as elsewhere, has often been influenced as much by theory and conjecture as by fact and experience. In a study published in September 1997, the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO) drew together the available evidence about the health care systems in the fifty-one countries of the European region. This paper focuses on western European countries. It reviews a variety of policy strategies and then explores implications from this European experience for the formulation of U.S. health care policy.
