Serious scholarly analyses of the types and roles of accountability
in health care first appeared in the late 1980s. That issue, along
with the related issue of responsibility in health care, has
continued to interest policymakers, analysts and scholars ever
since. Indeed, there has been a renewed surge of interest in recent
years, with growing attention to the notion of accountable care
organizations in the US, clinical audits in the UK, and governance
as stewardship in many other countries. Accountability and
responsibility in health care was also the theme of a major
international conference organized by the Israel National Institute
for Health Policy Research, which was held in Jerusalem in
2009.This book is a collection of scholarly articles on the themes
of accountability and responsibility in health care and seeks to be
the premier book in that field. It includes selected papers from
the 2009 Jerusalem Conference, analytic essays on how
accountability and responsibility are playing out in eight
different countries, and reprints of some of the classic articles
in the field.The book will interest policymakers, managers,
researchers and students, and many of the ideas presented here will
help shape the development of this field in the years ahead. Some
of these ideas have appeared in other forums; the unique
contribution of this volume is that it is the first to bring
together so many different perspectives on accountability and
responsibility in health care. This volume will both acquaint
readers with some of the latest thinking on accountability and
responsibility in health care, and will serve as a catalyst for
future reflection, research and writing in this area.
