A new approach to the issue of incentives in health policy analysis is offered in this book, which cover a range of studies and discusses both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. The main topics are the consumer’s behaviour in terms of diet, lifestyle and so on; the provider’s activities in terms of professional practice and financial incentives; and other-discipline measures from outside the health care sector. A different approach to clinical freedom is also considered with regard to improving health services efficiency.
