This book provides a theoretical, empirical, and practical account of health policy in China.
Its original contribution to current debate explains the interaction between institutions, interests, and ideas informing China's health policy process. It draws on public policy perspectives to understand how and why policy developments have unfolded in the way that they have.
Through an examination of workforce development, integrated care, and IT innovation, case studies provide a range of insights regarding current policy interventions as well as reflect on how such developments can be improved and sustained in the future.
Looking to the future with a review and synthesis of policy recommendations regarding how China can improve its reform efforts, this book will be welcomed by academics, students and policy makers in the field.
