Health systems throughout the world are undertaking major reforms in the organization and delivery of health services. Amid widespread evidence of failure to implement new health policy initiatives the challenge is to develop a more nuanced understanding of the reasons for this policy- practice gap.
Based on international research, The Reform of Health Care provides a timely and critical contribution to our knowledge of how organizational and contextual factors, across a range of health care settings, serve to shape, adapt and resist attempts at top-down policy reform.
It is important reading for organizational and policy researchers, health managers, policy makers, clinicians and students of health policy and management.
