Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Journal of Public Health   Available online at: http://bit.ly/a9z2kR Table of contents Rev. salud pública vol.12  supl.1 2010-11-05 Print version ISSN 0124-0064       Governance and health: Contributions to innovation in health systems Bazzani, Roberto· International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Office The need to strengthen the field of health policy and systems research has been widely recognized among public health research organizations. This is especially so in the case of Latin America and the Caribbean. Moreover, there is also an increasing interest in the development of new research models with greater capacity to influence policy agendas and health reforms. This publication argues that in order to bridge research to policy, the design of technical solutions alone is largely not sufficient; it is essential to achieve a better understanding of the planning and implementation of health policies. Sound research can play a relevant role, but it has to include new analytical categories and generate appropriate interfaces between researchers and decision makers. This article introduces the Journal's special edition devoted to governance and health policies in the Americas. Its purpose is to present the advances achieved by Latin American researchers, in collaboration with Canadian scientists, in the conceptual and methodological development of governance in health, and to showcase different field projects in the region. The authors present complementary views, both analytical and normative, confirming the advantages and opportunities of developing a governance dimension in health systems research projects. This enables a better understanding of the policy process and consequently increases the potential to influence public policies …..” text in spanish             Essays       Governance of primary health-care-based health-care organization Báscolo, Ernesto  abstract in english | spanish            ·  Ethical principles and approaches to health systems governance research: conceptual and methodological implications Flores, Walter   abstract in english | spanish             Governance in Public Health: towards an analytical framework Hufty, Marc   abstract in english | spanish     ·    ·        Health Systems Governance for Health Equity: Critical Reflections Labonté, Ronald   abstract in english | spanish      ·       Notes for studying primary care within the context of segmented health systems Bursztyn, Ivani; Kushnir, Rosana; Giovanella, Lígia; Stolkiner, Alícia; Sterman-Heimann, Luiza; Riveros, Maria I.; Sollazzo, Ana - abstract in english | spanish      ·      Cases Analysis       ·  Governance of PHC development in Rosario, Argentina Báscolo, Ernesto; Yavich, Natalia - · abstract in english | spanish         ·  Governance and Health: The rise of the managerialism in public sector reform Denis, Jean L.; Lamothe, Lise; Langley, Ann; Stéphane, Guérard - abstract in english | spanish | french      ·       ·  A governance approach applied to analysing research into unemployed workers in the city of Medellin in Colombia Cardona, álvaro; Nieto, Emmanuel; Mejía, Luz M.- abstract in english | spanish      ·       ·  Governance in Guatemalan municipal development councils: an analysis of actors and power relationships Flores, Walter; Gómez-Sánchez, Ismael- abstract in english | spanish           Transversal Analysis       ·  Governance and Health: Meaning and Implications in Latin America Rodríguez, Charo; Lamothe, Lise; Barten, Françoise; Haggerty, Jeannie  -abstract in english | spanish
