The International Network Health Policy & Reform aims to narrow the gap between health services research and health policy. Twice a year, network partners from 16 industrialized countries report on ideas or approaches to overcome obstacles in the policy-making process. A focused is placed on policies that are of systemic impact, have generated considerable controversy or media attention and appear transferable to other settings.
The second issue of Health Policy Developments takes a closer look at three topics high on the health policy agenda in most industrialized countries. It concentrates on the health policy challenges typical of an aging society, on recent developments in pharmaceutical policy and on changes in human resources policies to cope with shortages of medical professionals.
One of the most salient results: Regardless of the health system or policy making style in a given country, the public call for accountability in health policy decision-making is becoming ever more pronounced. The question of decentralization, both in terms of decision-making and service delivery, is also prominent in a wide range of health policy issues.
