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.
