Yet hospitals also make up the largest expenditure category of the health system both in developed and developing countries.'Innovations in Health Service Delivery' offers insights into recent trends in the reform of public hospitals, with a focus on organizational changes such as increased management autonomy, corporatization, and privatization. This book also provides an opportunity to further understand the objectives, design, implementation, and evaluation of such reforms.
