The LSE Companion to Health Policy covers a wide range of
conceptual and practical issues from a number of different
perspectives introducing the reader to, and summarising, the vast
literature that analyzes the complexities of health policy. The
Companion also assesses the current state of the art. Health policy
is a wide-ranging subject covering many academic disciplines, but
what most studies in health policy have in common is an interest in
applying theory to improve practice. This Companion brings academic
rigor to bear evidence on a range of central areas within health
policy. It covers key issues on the quality, access and
inequalities in health and health care; supply and health markets;
insurance and expenditures; pharmaceuticals and new technologies;
ageing and long-term care; and behavior and health production. This
unique Companion on health policy contains the most important
features for health system reform at a time of funding constraints
and will therefore hold great appeal for policy analysts and
makers, students, academics and management professionals.
