Analyzing the evidence on European health care reforms

Health system reform, in Europe as elsewhere, has often been influenced as much by theory and conjecture as by fact and experience. In a study published in September 1997, the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO) drew together the available evidence about the health care systems in the fifty-one countries of the European region. This paper focuses on western European countries. It reviews a variety of policy strategies and then explores implications from this European experience for the formulation of U.S. health care policy.
