In response, \u003cem\u003ePolicy Innovations for Health\u003c\/em\u003e argues that a nation’s well-being mirrors the health of its citizens—and calls not only for improvement in our health care systems but for a complete reconceptualization of health and social policy, starting with expanded, interrelated roles for health care providers, consumers, and policymakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-term strategies outlined in this book emphasize a stronger balance between public and individual health goals, and collaborations between cost-efficient, streamlined medical care and innovative therapeutic research and technology—values that have been traditionally been considered in conflict. Examples are included of new care models and groundbreaking programs from Canada, the EU, and Australia that bring together the community, consumer, governmental, and corporate sectors; bridge the gaps between prevention, health promotion, and practice; and improve core health determinants such as living conditions, education, and social supports. These social, political, medical, and technological advances, assert the authors, are crucial to meeting the challenges of the decades ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth as a central economic and societal force.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew directions in the monitoring of health and well-being.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Integrating Health in all Policies” programs and how they can be implemented.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe democratization of health knowledge and the expanding role of patient participation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosing the financial divide in public health priority-setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolicy Innovations for Health\u003c\/em\u003e adds important new voices to the health care debate, and its vision willinspire professionals in health policy, health administration, health economics, and global health, as well as graduate students planning to enter these rapidly changing fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIlona Kickbusch is known throughout the world for her contributions to innovation in public health, health promotion and global health. \r\n\u003cp\u003eShe has had a distinguished career with the World Health Organization and Yale University.
