Implementing Innovative Health Policy Re

By studying healthcare innovations within the context of health reform, students can learn how novel approaches can be integrated into reform strategies to overcome systemic inefficiencies, enhance equity in healthcare delivery, and ultimately contribute to the goal of improving health systems. This approach encourages students to think creatively and practically about transforming healthcare systems to deliver improved outcomes and better serve the needs of populations, particularly in low and middle-income countries. The course is structured around the analytical framework of five policy levers of financing, payment, organization, regulation, and persuasion, as critical determinants of health system performance developed by Roberts, Hsiao, Berman & Reich.
