Description
THE FOUNDATIONAL WORK IN HEALTH REFORM, CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF INFLUENCE
Featuring a new introduction by the authors
Getting Health Reform Right is the world's leading text for understanding and managing health systems and their reform. Its simple, analytical model allows readers to design their own approach to improve health-system performance based on three outcomes of greatest importance (health status, citizen satisfaction, and financial risk protection), with step-by-step instructions for defining problems, diagnosing causes, devising solutions, and implementing changes.
"Rapidly assumed the status of a classic and proved an inspiration to a generation of students and policymakers. It is as relevant today as when it was first published." -Peter C. Smith, Emeritus Professor of Health Policy, Imperial College Business School, London
"Has become the mainstay of health-system reform conversations among policymakers in India. Its unique and accessible framing, which goes beyond abstract ideas, has resonated strongly in debates over how to improve health system performance." -Nachiket Mor, former Director, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, India

Has become the mainstay of health-system reform conversations among policymakers in India. Its unique and accessible framing, which goes beyond abstract ideas, has resonated strongly in debates over how to improve health system performance." -Nachiket Mor, former Director, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, India A marvelous tool. The five 'control knobs'-as well as the illustration of the complex interactions among the technical, ethical and political dimensions of the policy cycle-allowed me to organize my systemic thinking while advancing towards the implementation of effective universal health care in Argentina." -Adolfo Rubinstein, Secretary of Health of Argentina Rapidly assumed the status of a classic and proved an inspiration to a generation of students and policymakers. It is as relevant today as when it was first published." -Peter C. Smith, Emeritus Professor of Health Policy, Imperial College Business School, London The authors' candid reflections are central to contemporary challenges of health reform and policy translation. A key resource for policymakers, analysts, and program managers seeking the trinity of universal coverage, quality, and financial protection." -Olusoji Adeyi, Director of Health, Nutrition, and Population Global Practice, The World Bank Group, Washington, DCMore details
