- Summary
- "Why does a given innovation become more widely accepted and used in one country than in another? To what extent are differences attributable to cultural traits, political policies, or other factors? This book looks at how an innovation in health care financing and administration that originated in the U.S. was greeted by numerous Western European countries." "In The Migration of Managerial Innovation, experts from nine European countries offer an in-depth examination of the rate, degree, and manner in which their countries responded to diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), an innovation adopted by the U.S. government to create incentives for increased hospital efficiency. The introductory and closing chapters compare and contrast the varying levels of resources and activity these countries committed to DRGs, providing a range of insights for those involved in managing and promoting innovation." "In addition, this book provides a concise description of how health care is organized and financed in Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland. By presenting an in-depth look at the various systems employed throughout Europe and exploring how these systems have reacted to DRGs, this book will give researchers and policy makers a wealth of information for making informed decisions on potential paths for innovation and reform in the U.S. health care system."--BOOK JACKET.
