Description

Looks at the theory and practice of privatization internationally through case studies of the US, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain, West Germany, France, Sweden and Chile. Among the sectors of health care examined are public and private hospitals, mental health care, prepaid health plans. and the multinational pharmaceutical industry. A report from the Foundation for Health Services Research. Commissioned essays by leading scholars provide an account of what health services research aims to do, what the breadth of the effort has been, and what the research has accomplished. Volume editor Ginzberg (director, Conservation of Human Resources, Columbia U.) introduces the subject with an overview of health services research and its relation to health policy and concludes with thoughts on future research needs.
