Europe ; Health Care Reform ; Hospital Administration ; HospitalsAbstract: Hospitals of the future will confront difficult challenges: new patterns of disease, rapidly evolving medical technologies, ageing populations, and continuing budget constraints. This book explores the competing pressures facing policymakers across Europe as they struggle to respond to these complex challenges. It argues that hospitals, as part of a larger health system, should focus on enhancing health outcomes while also responding to public expectations. Adopting a cross-national, cross-disciplinary perspective, the study assesses recent evidence on the factors driving hospital reform and the strategies used to improve organizational performance. It reviews the evidence from eastern as well as western Europe and combines academic research with real-world policy experience Link for e-copy: http://www.euro.who.int/document/e74486.pdf Format of e-copy: Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=147 Hold
