Building a High-Value Health System cover

Countries and institutions worldwide face the challenge of planning and paying for health care that effectively meets the needs of citizens and employees. While there are many criticisms of existing healthcare models, current literature offers little guidance for individuals who want to carry out the work of redesigning and improving their health system. Using a step-by-step format, Building a High-Value Health System systematically provides analytical tools and functional skills for designing and implementing a health system that fits a population's needs. Active, learner-directed methods teach readers how to assess the needs of a population, analyze the performance of a health system, assess available capacity, and develop system design options that are feasible within this context. The book then describes the strategies through which change agents can implement and sustain these systems in the future. Through global case studies and detailed guidance, Building a High-Value Health System prepares readers to analyze and understand their own health system and take actions to build a better one.

Atun and Moore have created a unique 'workbook' that goes well beyond the typical textbook to reach health system learners at all levels. Employing systems thinking and case study methods while avoiding jargon, Building a High-Value Health System will be a pleasure to use for anyone committed to creating health services that are effective, efficient, equitable, and responsive. * Robert S.
