Policy Innovation for Health
Editat de Ilona Kickbuschen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 oct 2008
The long-term strategies outlined in this book emphasize a stronger balance between public and individual health goals, and collaborations between cost-efficient, streamlined medical care and innovative therapeutic research and technology—values that have been traditionally been considered in conflict. Examples are included of new care models and groundbreaking programs from Canada, the EU, and Australia that bring together the community, consumer, governmental, and corporate sectors; bridge the gaps between prevention, health promotion, and practice; and improve core health determinants such as living conditions, education, and social supports. These social, political, medical, and technological advances, assert the authors, are crucial to meeting the challenges of the decades ahead.
Among the topics covered:
- Health as a central economic and societal force.
- New directions in the monitoring of health and well-being.
- “Integrating Health in all Policies” programs and how they can be implemented.
- The democratization of health knowledge and the expanding role of patient participation.
- Closing the financial divide in public health priority-setting.

Recenzii
From the reviews:
"This unique book focuses on an exploration and map of policy innovations. … The book would be useful to anyone wanting to look at policy from a different perspective. It is so radically different that health policy students would benefit … . Doctoral students with a policy minor would benefit." (Carole A. Kenner, Doody’s Review Services, January, 2009)
"This book is the result of a two-year conversation between the six authors during the period 2006-2008. … The authors provide many examples and case studies for new policy approaches from different parts of Europe and at different levels of governance. The book will be of interest to graduate students and professionals in health policy, health administration, and health economics." (SciTech Book News, March, 2009)

Policy Innovation for Health
Policy Innovation for Health
Edited by Ilona Kickbusch, Graduate Institute of International and Developmental Studies, Geneva
The facts are hard to ignore: rising rates of chronic disease, epidemic obesity and diabetes, a widening longevity gap between rich and poor, health care "reforms" at odds with patient interests. It has become increasingly clear that changes in the existing health care system will not be sufficient to maintain and improve our health at this historical juncture. In response, Policy Innovation for Health argues that that we need to shift course and apply a radically new mindset to health and health policy. The pressure for policy innovation shifts from a focus on the health care system to a reorganization of how we approach health in 21st century societies. This change calls for new mechanisms through which we conduct health policy and it calls for an inclusion of many actors in the policy process: health care providers, policy makers from many sectors, communities, consumers, patients and the private sector.
The long-term strategies outlined in this book emphasize collaboration within government through Health in All Policy approaches and beyond government through new partnerships for health. The authors provide many concrete examples of new policy approaches and implementation from different parts of Europe and at different levels of governance, local, regional, national and European. Case studies of policy innovations for health from Portugal, Wales and Germany illustrate in detail how such policies can bridge the gaps between prevention, health promotion, and healthcare; and improve core health determinants such as living conditions, education, and social supports. These social, political, medical, and technological advances, assert the authors, are crucial to meeting the challenges of the decades ahead.
