The debate about health care reform has gone on for many years. The
debate has generated often innovative ideas for reform that
transcend national boundaries. For example, proposals have been
made for an extension of health insurance with a framework of
social protection; progressive development of funding methods;
controls on expenditure; bringing benefits into line with what is
actually needed; and the application of technological advances.
The book concentrates on health insurance policy innovations in
selected countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. In
addition this book addresses recent institutional economic findings
with regard to application of information technology in health
insurance systems. Topics discussed include: new approaches in
extending coverage in a health insurance system, confronting
resource scarcity: innovative strategies, refining benefits to meet
current needs, new institutional and administrative frameworks, and
transformation through information technology systems. Many of the
innovations presented here have already been integrated into
existing reforms and the authors refer to concrete developments in
individual countries and regions.
This book presents those important innovations to social health
insurance systems in industrialized and developing countries that
have been brought forward in recent years and, as far as possible,
already evaluated. In doing so, the intention is to show
developments that are valid for more than one country and could
have long term impact on health insurance systems. This book is
intended to promote deeper exchanges of experience between
differing regions, countries, and health insurance systems. In this
way itwill stimulate ideas for politicians and practitioners,
scientists and other experts.
