Governance and health policy

Scott L. Greer and Phillip M. Singer

Chapter 10 in Research Handbook on Health Care Policy, 2024, pp 156-169 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Governance is a difficult topic in health care systems, focused on how decisions are made and implemented rather than the choice of policy, and shaped by many contextual factors. It is nonetheless crucial for explaining and changing what systems do and how they affect people. This chapter presents a broad governance framework for identifying governance aspects of health policies and systems and for further recognizing challenges associated with governance. It then, to show how governance can be understood in a contextual sense, focuses on a case study of the territorial politics of health policy making in multi-level and federal political systems.
