“…This paper provides an overview of system reform, using international examples, and highlights both how the health systems of countries at varying levels of economic development can benefit from adopting international good practice and the value of a truly global exchange on health system reform. It serves as a discussion document for an international summit analysing promising health reforms, hosted in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar and the British Medical Journal, to be held in Salzburg, Austria on 7 to 12 November 2010.…”

Removing the policy barriers to integrated care in England

“….This briefing paper uses five case studies of health economies in the English NHS as a basis for examining how local clinicians and managers are working together to develop closer service integration and less fragmented care for patients. It focuses on what is facilitating or impeding change and sets out proposals for policy-makers that are designed to enable more rapid progress towards developing better coordinated services.

It is intended as a contribution to discussions about the direction health reform should take under the new Coalition Government following the publication of the White Paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS (Department of Health, 2010)….”
