Depuis plusieurs décennies, le système de santé est réputé en crise. Année après année, le « trou de la Sécu » réapparaît avec un même cortège de difficultés et de menaces. Il ne s'agit plus seulement d'assurer tant bien que mal les équilibres comptables ; il faut désormais entrer au coeur du système de santé pour identifier les « inefficiences » et tenter d'en infléchir les logiques. C'est alors que l'économie de la santé entre en scène : elle supposée offrir les éléments de diagnostic et les remèdes indispensables à la survie d'un tel système de santé. Mais la place de l'économie ne manque pas de faire débat, qu'on lui impute une importance trop exclusive ou au contraire une influence dérisoire au regard des enjeux et des intérêts en présence. Entre les années 1950 et aujourd'hui, les rapports entre la santé et l'économie ont en effet singulièrement changé. L'appréhension du domaine sanitaire en termes économiques, encore taboue dans les décennies d'après-guerre, est aujourd'hui devenue courante, voire dominante. Comment pareille transformation s'est-elle produite ? Comment les liens entre santé et économie ont-ils été redéfinis au cours de cette période ? L'histoire de cette transformation historique implique non seulement des spécialistes en économie, mais aussi des fonctionnaires, des politiques, des professionnels de santé et des citoyens plus ou moins directement intéressés par ces développements. Plongeant dans l'écheveau des pratiques sociales et des institutions, cette analyse se situe à la frontière de la sociologie politique et de la sociologie des sciences : elle étudie la place spécifique de raisonnements économiques ayant acquis une force cognitive intrinsèque, et partant une forme d'autonomie.

An evaluation of Community Voices Miami (CVM), a project aimed at enhancing health care access and quality for the underserved in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The report concludes that CVM affected intermediate outcomes--raising awareness of issues, getting safety-net providers to collaborate, nurturing neighborhood-based solutions, and advocating for establishment of an independent health care planning body; but measurement of ultimate outcomes--access to health care--remains for future study.

Investing in children's health is essential to ensure human and economic development. Healthy children have the best chances for healthy, productive lives. At the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in 2004, the countries in the WHO European Region committed themselves to building a healthy future for the Region's children by adopting the Children's Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe. It provides a framework for action by the 52 diverse countries in the Region. This book was written to provide the guidance and tools that countries need to carry out the Action Plan at the local and national levels, and Region-wide. The aim is to transform the framework document into national action plans suited to each country's circumstances, priorities and resources. The book has three parts. Part I provides the scientific evidence on children's susceptibility to environmental risk factors, and an overview of environmental risk factors and their effects on children's health. Part II is the core of the publication: tables proposing child-specific actions and therefore concrete ways in which a country can work to reduce children's exposure to environmental risk factors and improve their health. This gives countries the opportunity to act on their own national priorities, while still addressing Region-wide environmental risk factors. Part III focuses on the tools required to ensure implementation of national action plans: setting priorities; building partnerships; taking a precautionary approach to uncertain risks; carrying out strategies for advocacy and information, education and communication; and using indicators to monitor progress at the national and the Region-wide levels. This publication is intended to act as a handbook for countries to use in building a safe and health future for all of Europe's children.

Health technology has the tremendous potential to change our understanding of disease, transform the delivery of health-care services, and improve health outcomes. But using such technology comes at a price. Health Technologies and Decision Making analyses the barriers to, and facilitators of, evidence-based decision making in OECD health-care systems. It examines how countries can successfully manage the opportunities and challenges arising from health-related technology by optimising decision-making processes, recognising the value of innovation, dealing with uncertainty, and producing and co-ordinating health technology assessment. The book also considers the capacity of health systems to respond to the particular challenges of fast-developing health-related biotechnologies.
