This fifth volume of Advances in Health Care Management examines
international health care management. It consists of 12 papers, one
of which serves as an introduction, with the other papers arranged
into three sections. The first section on patients and providers
focuses on such issues as how socio-cultural forces affect the
health care experience; how hospital providers function differently
under various governance structures; how global strategies affect
providers and patients; and why and how provider organizations
should consider integrating within a health delivery system. The
second section on policy and management addresses such dilemmas as
whether some health care issues are impossible to solve through
traditional policy reforms; how international refugees should
receive health care; and whether policy reform lessons from other
countries can be adapted and applied to transform another country's
health system. The third and final section on performance and
management addresses issues such as whether the quality of care can
be managed at the hospital level, how human resource management can
be benchmarked within and across health care organizations, how
health care informatics and telemedicine can improve the continuity
of care, and whether different ways of accessing care within health
systems can be systemically compared and improved.
Authors from Australia, Chile, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of
America contributed to this volume. They explore the delivery and
organization of care in health systems from Africa, Asia,
Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, encompassing

call, went through a double-blind review and revision process. The
