Abstract: With markets and competition dominating much of the debate on health care reform, health care planning has received little scholarly attention in recent years. Yet in many high-income countries, governments have continued to plan some elements of their health care systems. We use a new framework for analysing health care planning organised around the dimensions of ‘vision’, ‘governance’ and ‘intelligence’ to assess the approach in two deliberately contrasting countries, Germany and New Zealand.
