This book comprises two volumes and builds on the findings of DISMEVAL project (Developing validating DISease Management EVALuation methods for European health care systems), funded under Union’s (EU) Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) (Agreement no. 223277). DISMEVAL was a three-year collaborative project conducted between 2009 and 2011.

Abstract The main goal of this paper is to review the strategies developed across European health care systems during 1990s improve coordination among providers. A second provide some analytical insights in two fields. On one hand, we attempt clarify relationships between pro‐coordination and organizational change care.

Although decentralization has been widely implemented in health systems, there is little agreement as to how it should be defined or the outcomes produce. This article develops a functional typology based on political, administrative, and fiscal dimensions of decentralization. It utilizes these three categories identify highlight key theoretical issues concerning decentralization, emphasizing likely advantages disadvantages that can expected generate. then examines usefulness this framework...
