The balance between rising demands and costs, access for all, and efficiency and quality is pursued in different ways. Studies like this - even though comparable data is scarce - help us see possible better ways forward. The editors have assembled an impressive team, and their comparative research design yields rich insights.' --Tamara Hervey, University of Sheffield, UK'Due to aging populations and technological advancements, countries are facing the challenge of improving healthcare quality, while maintaining access and containing cost. Focusing on the hospital sector, this book discusses how a variety of 11 countries try to meet this challenge. Specific attention is paid to the role of the regulatory framework, market structure, rationing and reimbursement methods. Although no best practice emerges, this book may be very useful for policymakers and anyone else interested in cross-country comparison.' --Frederik T. Schut, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
