SHI systems in Europe are often complex and difficult to describe. This is highlighted by the difficulty analysts frequently have in pinning down exactly which specific health sector arrangements constitute an SHI system. Defining these arrangements is particularly important to reach beyond individual SHI systems in order to assess the performance of SHI systems in general. Using the seven SHI countries in western Europe - Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland - as well as Israel this important new book reviews the core structural and organizational dimensions as well as recent/current reforms and innovations using a framework based on typical SHI characteristics; it explores the nature of the pressures these health systems confront to be more efficient, more effective, and more responsive; and reviews their success in addressing these pressures to date. It also examines the implications of these responses on the defining characteristics of SHIs. Finally, the book draws out a set of policy lessons about past experience and likely future developments in SHI systems in a manner useful to policymakers in Europe and elsewhere
